“It’ll end very soon. We could leave now, but we want to make sure it lasts for a long time,” Trump said at a rally in South Carolina.
Trump also said the US has a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, which he called the “Trump Strait.”
His remarks came as The New York Times reported that the US and Israeli militaries have developed plans for renewed strikes on Iran after the US midterm elections, citing US officials and others briefed on the deliberations.
