WASHINGTON — President Trump told reporters Monday that the United States is actively striking Iran’s military capabilities tied to the Strait of Hormuz, as military operations between the two nations continue to escalate.
Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump confirmed that the U.S. military is carrying out new strikes against Iran. However, he also made clear that he has not closed the door on reaching a diplomatic settlement with Tehran.
The president also raised a separate concern, suggesting that Iran may have positioned drones in Cuba.
“If they do have that, and they might very well have that, we’ll take care of it,” Trump said.
He continued: “We’re not going to have a problem. We’re not going to allow that to happen so it could be that they are storing some. We’re looking into it now.”
