According to Jin10, U.S. officials said U.S. President Donald Trump is patient and expects to outlast the diplomatic stalemate, especially if gasoline prices remain at current levels. A White House official said the United States has completed all of its military objectives against Iran, and that Trump is now focused on ensuring the smooth transport of global energy through the Strait of Hormuz. Officials added that if Iran launches further attacks on ships, the United States will keep military options open, while Trump has privately told senior aides in recent weeks that U.S. forces destroyed Iran's three main nuclear facilities last year and that Iran is unlikely to restart its nuclear activities during his term.
