The White House has announced that the United States has successfully achieved its primary military objectives in Iran.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the military operations reached their intended targets, according to the Operative Information Center-OMM. Leavitt noted that the operation lasted 38 days and proved to be more successful than initially projected by military planners.
The Press Secretary further emphasized that these military achievements have paved the way for potential diplomatic negotiations. Following these developments, US President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran. However, the administration clarified that this decision is strictly contingent upon Iran's agreement to keep the Strait of Hormuz open to international shipping.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most strategically important chokepoints, through which approximately one-fifth of the world's total oil consumption passes daily. Stability in this region is considered vital for global energy security and international trade. The current diplomatic opening follows a period of heightened tensions, with the international community closely monitoring the potential for a long-term resolution in the Middle East.
