President ​Donald Trump said on ‌Friday the U.S. was getting very close to meeting its ​objectives as it ​considers winding down its military ⁠efforts in the Iran ​war and called on ​countries that use Strait of Hormuz to guard and police it "as ​necessary."

"The Hormuz Strait ​will have to be guarded and ‌policed, ⁠as necessary, by other Nations who use it — The United States does not!," ​Trump ​said ⁠in a post on Truth Social.

"If asked, ​we will help ​these ⁠Countries in their Hormuz efforts, but it shouldn’t be ⁠necessary ​once Iran’s ​threat is eradicated," he said.
