Trump weighs quick Iran war end versus letting conflict fade

President Trump said Friday the United States could end its war with Iran quickly but is weighing whether to seek a swift conclusion or let the conflict gradually diminish. Speaking before a trip to Florida, Trump said oil is flowing through the Strait of Hormuz and that “we are getting everything we want.” His remarks came as Iranian security officials revealed Tehran has detailed plans to target Gulf undersea cables if attacked again, aiming to prevent repairs and prolong disruptions. Undersea cables carry 99 percent of global internet traffic, though less than 1 percent of international bandwidth passes through the Strait of Hormuz, limiting global impact. Iran’s threats aim to pressure Gulf states and US companies, while Washington’s allies have invested heavily in regional digital infrastructure.
