Kochi: US President Donald Trump has said the Strait of Hormuz will open “toll-free” under the US’s deal with Iran to end the war.
Speaking at the G7 Summit in France, Trump said “Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, that’s what it says… That’s about 99.9 percent of what I wanted.”
The deal had already been signed electronically by both sides and the formal ceremony is due to take place in Geneva, Switzerland later this week, BBC reported.
Criticizing Israel’s actions in Lebanon, he said “You don’t have to knock down an apartment house every time you’re looking for somebody… there are a lot of people in those apartment houses and they’re not all Hezbollah,…”
Earlier this week he said conflict in Lebanon still has the potential to derail the fragile peace process with Iran.
But Donald Trump also called the fighting in Lebanon as “the minor war”.
Meanwhile, the price of oil continues to fall, with a barrel of Brent crude dropping below $80 for the first time since early March.
