US President Donald Trump said Iran would need about 25 years to rebuild, expressing reluctance to destroy the remaining part of the country while not ruling out such action. Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump rejected nuclear mediation initiatives for Iran, claiming the US has controlled the country for seven months and that more oil now passes through the strait than before the war. Trump questioned whether the conflict with Iran qualifies as a war, citing no deaths in six months, and contrasted it with Russia-Ukraine, noting 25,000 monthly casualties there.
