Reuters. President Donald Trump on Wednesday (September 2) told reporters that the renewed U.S. campaign against Iran would not continue for too long.
"We've controlled and we are controlling the Hormuz Strait. We are, bringing lots of boats out every day with millions of barrels of oil. We are, for the most part, doing it without trouble. Every once in a while, they shoot a drone and we knock it down. But, we have control of, very strong control. They were trying to rebuild their radar systems and a missile system and a mine drop. You know, we got rid of all the mines in the Hormuz Strait. They were trying to build a rocket that drops mines. Who does that? Did you ever build a rocket that dropped... I never heard of such a thing. But that's what they were doing. They were building it. It was almost finished, so we took it out. We saw that they were building it. We see everything that they're doing. They can't move. They can't go to the bathroom without us seeing it. So we saw that. We took it out. We took out some other things. And then we hit them last night because they took a shot at us in Jordan, at our base in Jordan. We knocked all of them down. There were, I guess, eight missiles that were shot. They were all knocked out. One we let go because it was so inaccurate. It landed in the middle of the desert someplace. So we let it go. Sometimes we let them go if they're not aimed correctly. It's an amazing science", the US President said at the White House briefing.
