US President Donald Trump’s potential military operation in the Strait of
Hormuz, aimed at securing freedom of navigation, could significantly prolong the
ongoing conflict with Iran, sources told The Jerusalem Post. If executed, the
operation might extend the war by up to two months. As tensions rise, around 20%
of global oil supply is at risk, with ships avoiding the vital waterway due to
Iranian threats. The US military plans to deploy 5,000 Marines to the region,
while Israel offers intelligence support. Trump has dismissed NATO’s
involvement, emphasizing U.S. strength.
