President Trump says he may “wind down” Iran War and let others police region | BBC News
President Trump has said he is considering “winding down” the war with Iran and leaving other countries to “police” the Strait of Hormuz, the key sea lane through which around a fifth of the world’s oil and gas is usually transported by ship. The Strait has effectively been closed following attacks on tankers and other energy infrastructure.
Trump said the US was “getting very close to meeting our objectives” in the conflict. He repeated an earlier claim that the US doesn’t use the strait of Hormuz, and said that therefore other nations who do so will in future have to “guard and police” it.
Writing in a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said that would be “an easy military operation” for other countries. He wrote: We are getting very close to meeting our objectives as we consider winding down our great Military efforts in the Middle East with respect to the Terrorist Regime of Iran… The Hormuz Strait will have to be guarded and policed, as necessary, by other Nations who use it — The United States does not! If asked, we will help these Countries in their Hormuz efforts, but it shouldn’t be necessary once Iran’s threat is eradicated. Importantly, it will be an easy Military Operation for them.”
Several countries have joined European nations, Japan and Canada in signing a joint statement saying they are ready to help ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. The statement from Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Japan, Canada and other nations said: “We condemn in the strongest terms recent attacks by Iran on unarmed commercial vessels in the Gulf, attacks on civilian infrastructure including oil and gas installations, and the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces… We express our readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait.”
There has been continuing turmoil in financial and energy markets due to soaring oil and gas prices, following attacks on shipping and energy infrastructure by Iran and a strike by Israel on Iran’s natural gas fields. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said his country will not carry out further attacks on Iran’s energy sites.

Thousands of job cuts are expected at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), a year after a cyber attack brought car production to a halt for more than a month.
The company did not confirm the numbers but the Times reported as many as 4,000 jobs may be lost due to the impact of tariffs and a drop in sales.
Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds told the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg that when he meets the bosses of JLR and the Unite union to discuss the impact of the job losses early next week, they would focus on ways to “mitigate” the cuts.
JLR employs around 30,000 people in its UK operations and said in July that fewer than 300 people would leave the firm under cost savings plans announced at the time.

It’s the latest example of an influencer’s digital persona disintegrating before our eyes. For several years, Angel Victoria Murdock has been portraying a life of self-made success, from real estate deals to a watchalong student experience at Duke University.
She curated hundreds of thousands of followers and even appeared on reality show Temptation Island – only, the majority of her online life appears to have been fabricated.
After being outed by real graduates of the programme she claimed to attend, Murdock’s profile has gone dark. On this episode, we examine her case, and the long line of predecessors who have leveraged a fake identity on social media.
Also this week, as long-time internet provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos cries foul over his deportation from the US, Matt and Marianna consider what his downfall tells us about the state of social media.
A man who forged a career from controversy, they discuss why the splintered conservative community may have united in abandoning him, and how cancel culture is evolving.
