The ongoing war with Iran has reached its fourth week and meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has given a new statement regarding the beginning of the war. This has further increased the question as to how and why this war started. During a meeting in Tennessee, USA, Trump said that his Defense Minister Pete Hegseth was the first to speak in favor of military action. According to Trump, Hegseth had said that it was necessary to take steps to stop Iran from making nuclear weapons.

According to the report of Rolling Stone, different views are emerging within the Trump administration on the issue related to Iran war. Some people say that Israel was already preparing to attack, so America had to get involved. Some say that Iran was close to making nuclear weapons. Trump told in his own style that he talked to many officials and then decided to either ignore the problem or take direct action to eliminate it, but the situation is not that clear. Trump also said that Iran’s retaliation was sudden and no one had expected it. While some reports say that advance warning was given, but it was not heeded.

Questions raised about Defense Minister Hegseth

Defense Minister Hegseth is most visible in this entire matter. He told in a press conference at the Pentagon that America’s goal is to weaken Iran’s missile, drone and naval strength. He also said that it is difficult to tell when this operation will end, but the work is going on as per plan. Trump also admitted that Vice President JD Vance was not that enthusiastic about the war, although he did not publicly oppose it. According to reports, some people like Benjamin Netanyahu and media investor Rupert Murdoch were in favor of military action, while some others in the administration were advising caution. Meanwhile, another big case was seen when Joe Kent, former head of the National Counterterrorism Center, resigned amid this controversy.

Talk of agreement with Iran

Amidst the Iran war, Trump has also said that he wants to make a deal with Iran. He claimed that his son-in-law Jared Kushner and envoy Steve Witkoff are talking to a senior leader of Iran.

Amidst the war in the Middle East, US President Donald Trump has said that at present he is not ready to make any agreement with Iran to end the war. He says that Iran wants to make a compromise, but the conditions currently in place are not sufficient. However, he did not say what the terms of the agreement would be. In an interview given to NBC, Trump said that if any agreement is reached, it will definitely have the condition that Iran completely abandons its nuclear program.

Trump also said that he is planning with many countries to protect the Strait of Hormuz. This sea route is considered very important for oil tankers. Due to increased tension on this route due to war, oil prices have increased around the world. He told that many countries have asked to help in protecting this waterway. Trump expressed hope that countries like China, France, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom can also send their warships so that the movement of ships remains safe.

Attack on Kharg Island, center of Iran

Trump also confirmed that the US military has attacked Kharg Island, an important oil center of Iran. According to him, many parts of the island were destroyed in this attack, although he said that the oil pipelines and energy infrastructure were not completely damaged so that it would be possible to rebuild them. This war started on February 28 when America and Israel launched joint attacks on Iran. After this, Iran also started retaliatory attacks on Israeli and American targets. Many people have been killed so far in this conflict and 13 American Army soldiers have also died.

Many missile and drone systems of Iran destroyed

Trump also said that many of Iran’s missile and drone systems have been destroyed in American attacks and Iran’s military strength could be further weakened in the coming days. Meanwhile, Trump also raised questions about Iran’s new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei. He said that it is not yet clear whether he is alive or not, because he has not appeared in public. Trump also dismissed the concerns of the American people about rising petrol prices. He said that after the war ends, the prices of oil and gas will come down again. Apart from this, Trump also criticized Volodymyr Zelensky and said that it is more difficult to reach a compromise with him to end the Ukraine war than with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
