U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that if Iran honors what has been agreed to, the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran could end and the Strait of Hormuz reopen.


"Assuming Iran agrees to give what has been agreed to, which is, perhaps, a big assumption, the already legendary Epic Fury will be at an end, and the highly effective Blockade will allow the Hormuz Strait to be OPEN TO ALL, including Iran.


"If they don’t agree, the bombing starts, and it will be, sadly, at a much higher level and intensity than it was before," Trump said in post on Truth Social.
