Trump: What if we ended the Iranian regime and left Hormuz to others?

On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump raised questions about the future of the regime in Iran, hinting at the possibility of ending it and leaving the responsibility for managing the Strait of Hormuz to the countries that benefit from it.

Trump said in a statement broadcast a short while ago: “I wonder what would happen if we eliminated what remains of the regime in Iran and left the responsibility for the Strait of Hormuz to the countries that use it.”

He added that this proposal “would quickly move some of our unresponsive allies.”

Trump had stated that the United States had “completely defeated Iran” militarily and economically, adding that many countries, especially those affected by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, should take responsibility for securing it.
