US President Donald Trump made a series of statements asserting that Iran-related operations will end very soon and that gasoline prices will then fall, justifying the strikes on Iran by saying it was going to develop a nuclear weapon, and threatening to complete the "mission" if Tehran does not change its approach. This came alongside US positions announced by Central Command regarding the Strait of Hormuz and by War Secretary Pete Hegseth regarding Iran's missile arsenal and nuclear threat.
The Lebanese reports focused on Trump's statements themselves, between his description of his country's condition, his linking the end of operations to falling gasoline prices and his justification for striking Iran, while Al Jazeera added official military context: Central Command's announcement on the Strait of Hormuz and War Secretary Pete Hegseth's remarks on the missile arsenal and nuclear threat.
