CNN: Trump to Meet Gulf Allies in New York as He Weighs Iran Regime Question

U.S. President Donald Trump is set to meet his Gulf allies in New York on Tuesday, according to CNN, at a moment when he is weighing whether to "destroy" the Iranian regime. The report said the same Gulf partners had previously succeeded in persuading Trump not to take a major escalatory step. This time, the talks come as Washington is looking for a way out of the war, while Gulf leaders worry they could be pulled deeper into the conflict. Trump said last Thursday that he was facing a "big decision" on the war and wanted to hear directly from Gulf leaders. Their challenge, according to the report, is to present Trump with a workable path forward that can shield their countries from further attacks without drawing them further into the war. The planned meeting highlights the balancing act facing Gulf states as they try to protect their own security interests while responding to pressure from Washington during a tense regional standoff.

Trump says U.S. is “easily winning” war with Iran and expects conflict to end soon

U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States is 「easily winning」 its war with Iran and insisted that Iran will not obtain a nuclear weapon. He said Americans may have to accept higher gasoline prices in order to stop Iran from becoming nuclear-armed, but argued that the public would prefer that outcome over allowing Iran to get a bomb. Trump also said the war would end soon and that gasoline prices would then fall back, potentially to levels below where they were before the conflict. He added that if the United States had not sent B-2 bombers to strike Iran, Iran 「might already have a nuclear weapon now」. The remarks were reported by BlockBeats on Sept. 19.

Trump Says Strait of Hormuz 'Is Open' as US Officials Claim Iran's Leverage Is Fading

US officials say American forces have spent the past two months steadily eroding Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway that has been Tehran's strongest leverage since the war began in late February. Officials now describe the shift as a potential turning point in the conflict, one that could gradually relieve pressure on the global economy and improve the chances of reaching a better agreement with Iran. President Donald Trump told Axios in a phone interview Thursday that the strait "is open" and that Iran's response has been "very mild." "They don't want us to hit them again. That's the whole thing. Nothing else matters," he said. The US actions came after the collapse of a US-Iran memorandum. Washington then moved unilaterally to reopen the waterway. A task force formed with the UAE has been guiding ships through the southern shipping lane, providing air cover, and intercepting Iranian drones and cruise missiles. A two-week bombing campaign has significantly weakened the Revolutionary Guard's ability to attack vessels in the strait. A minesweeping operation involving Navy divers, SEAL teams, underwater and surface drones, and private contractors is clearing mines. The blockade of Iranian ports has been restored. (Jinshi)

Iran says it will wear down the U.S. through a prolonged war

Iran will seek to deter future attacks by extending the conflict and forcing the United States to bear a higher cost, according to Mohammad Reza Naqdi, an adviser to the commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. In an interview aired by the U.S. Public Broadcasting Service on Aug. 11 local time, Naqdi said Washington’s two main objectives in the war with Iran — overthrowing Iran’s leadership and dividing the country — had already failed, adding that 「victory is on Iran’s side.」 Naqdi also said the war had exposed what he described as confusion in the U.S. approach. He said the United States was announcing new goals every few days, turning the conflict into what he called a war 「without strategy.」 He added that after more than five months of fighting, Iran had gained experience and concluded that U.S. forces were weaker than expected. One way to build deterrence, he said, is to prolong the war and drain the United States so that any future attacker would have to think carefully about the cost. The remarks were cited by CCTV International News and carried by Odaily.

Iran army spokesperson says the U.S. is in a desperate position

BlockBeats reported on July 26, citing Iranian media and CCTV International News, that Iranian Army spokesperson Aklaminia said Tehran does not see any clear next step in Washington’s strategy and believes the United States has entered a desperate position. He said one possible U.S. option is to withdraw from the war, while other possible paths include launching large-scale airstrikes under pressure from Israel or carrying out a ground operation. Aklaminia said Iran will watch Washington’s next move and has prepared for different scenarios. He also said the geographic scope of the war has expanded to the Strait of Mandeb, and that Iranian operations cover U.S. military targets from Jordan to countries along the Persian Gulf coast.
