According to news from Hashi Chain on March 21, citing CCTV news reports, U.S. President Trump stated on the social media platform 'Truth Social' that the United States is considering a gradual downgrade of its major military operations against the Iranian regime in the Middle East, and is now very close to achieving the established goals, which consist of five items: 1. Completely weaken Iran's missile capabilities, launch devices, and all related facilities; 2. Destroy the foundation of Iran's defense industry; 3. Eliminate Iran's naval and air force capabilities, including air defense weapon systems; 4. Never allow Iran to even come close to possessing nuclear capabilities, while the U.S. must always maintain posture to respond swiftly and forcefully if relevant situations arise; 5. Protect U.S. allies in the Middle East with the utmost strength, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, and other countries. Trump stated that the guarding and patrolling of the Strait of Hormuz should be undertaken by other countries that use the strait when necessary, and the U.S. will no longer bear this responsibility. If invited to assist, the U.S. is willing to provide support for these countries' operations in the Strait of Hormuz, but such assistance will no longer be necessary once the threat from Iran is completely eliminated. Trump also indicated that this would be an easy military operation for the relevant countries.
