US President Trump, who has been in a war with Iran for 17 days alongside Israel, made statements regarding current topics during his press briefing.

Here are the highlights from Donald Trump's statements:

US President Donald Trump said regarding the attacks on Iran, "If we hadn't done this, there would have been a nuclear war that would have turned into World War III."

Trump stated that Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei might be dead.

Donald Trump said, "If you think Iran should have a nuclear weapon, then there is something wrong with you, because they will use it.

The only question is whether they will use it within an hour or a day after obtaining it.

They would blow up not just Israel, but the entire Middle East," he said.

"THE WAR WILL END SOON"

Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, US President Donald Trump stated, "We don't know if any mines have been laid yet, but the very thought that they could be laid scares people who have billion-dollar ships."

When asked, "Can we end this war this week?" Trump replied, "Yes, of course. It will end soon. It won't take long, and when it's over, we will have a much safer world. It will end soon."
