In a recent press interaction, US President Donald Trump expressed his reluctance to hasten the resolution of the ongoing conflict, highlighting the instability within Iran's leadership. He stated, “I don't want to rush myself,” countering concerns that the conflict may exceed the previously estimated four-to-six week timeline. Trump has also directed the US military to engage Iranian small boats in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical passage for global oil trade, where 20% of the world's oil is transported. In a positive development, Israel and Lebanon have agreed to extend their ceasefire for an additional three weeks after high-level discussions at the White House, marking their second round of negotiations in a week. The ongoing tensions have severely impacted oil exports, with the Strait of Hormuz being a focal point of the conflict.
