US President Donald Trump's stance on the Iran-US war has been constantly shifting since its beginning on February 28. Trump's claims of US victory have oscillated between winning the war, ending it, and the need to attack Iran.
At a White House press briefing, Trump said the US doesn't need the Strait of Hormuz, a key energy passage that became a point of contention between the two sides.
Trump's statements have drawn sarcastic responses from Tehran, with a top Iranian military spokesperson asking if he was negotiating with himself.
In a recent social media post, Trump used expletives to urge Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, saying 'Open the f**kin' Strait, you crazy b****rds, or you'll be living in Hell.'
Despite Iran rejecting the US peace plan, Trump termed Tehran's counterproposal as a 'significant proposal.'
Trump extended the deadline for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz by 10 days, pushing it to April 6, a claim Iran rejected.
Trump has also praised Iran's military capabilities, calling Iranians 'capable fighters' and 'tough people.'
The war continues alongside the Hormuz deadlock, with Trump claiming that the US had 'blown Iran off the map' on March 22.
