Trump says renewed US-Iran clashes will not last long

US President Donald Trump has commented on the latest escalation between the United States and Iran, stating that the renewed clashes will not last "too long."

Alongside this assessment, Trump claimed that the US currently holds control over the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime corridor through which a significant share of the world's oil shipments pass.

The remarks were reported by Al Jazeera as part of ongoing live coverage tracking developments in the conflict between the two countries. Detailed circumstances surrounding the renewed hostilities were not specified in the available reporting.

The Strait of Hormuz has long been a flashpoint in US-Iran relations given its importance to global energy transport. Statements regarding control of the waterway are typically viewed as significant within the broader regional and international geopolitical context.

It remains unclear from available information what form the current clashes are taking or their scale. However, Trump's comments suggest an effort by the administration to downplay concerns about a prolonged escalation. International media continue to monitor the situation as it develops.
