U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that Iran is facing significant challenges in determining its leadership. According to Foresight News, Trump highlighted the ongoing internal conflict between the 'hardliners' and 'moderates' within Iran. He noted that the hardliners have suffered defeats on the battlefield, while the moderates, despite not being truly moderate, have gained respect.

Trump described the situation as chaotic and emphasized that the United States has complete control over the Strait of Hormuz. He asserted that no vessels can pass through without the approval of the U.S. Navy, declaring the strait 'tightly closed' until Iran reaches an agreement.
