<\/p>\nU.S. President Donald Trump said Monday that Iranian attacks on the United Arab Emirates and Oman were \u201cunder control,\u201d while warning again that Iran must not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a White House event, Trump described the latest military action as a \u201clittle detour\u201d that he said was \u201cworking out very nicely.\u201d Earlier, he told ABC News that the Iranian attack on Gulf states was \u201cnot heavy firing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked whether a ceasefire had been violated, Trump said: \u201cWe\u2019ll let you know. Ships are moving. You know, we moved quite a few last night \u2014 big ones. There was no firing. I guess there has been some recently. I’m looking into it.”<\/p>\n
He added, “Iran better hope [the ceasefire] remains in effect. The best thing that can happen to them is that we keep it in effect.”<\/p>\n
Asked what would happen if the ceasefire were violated, he said: \u201cI’ll let you know, like I’ll let everyone else know.\u201d Asked about the missile and drone launches at the UAE, Trump said most of them had been shot down.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have it under control,\u201d he said. \u201cOne way or the other, we win.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump spoke during an event marking National Small Business Week, attended by more than 130 business owners from across the United States. He said the stock market had reached record highs despite the military action.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe stock market had hit [record highs], even with this military operation, call it whatever you want. We can’t let Iran have a nuclear weapon,\u201d Trump said. \u201cWe hit all new highs, and I said, \u2018We have to take care of business, because we can\u2019t let that happen.\u2019 So we did a little detour, and it\u2019s working out very nicely.\u201d<\/p>\n

They have no anti-aircraft equipment. They have no radar. They have no nothing. They have no leaders, actually,\u201d he said. \u201cThe leaders happen to be gone also. But can’t let them have a nuclear weapon, or you’re going to have problems like nobody would believe. And it\u2019s going very well.\u201d<\/p>\n Trump also said oil prices would fall once the current crisis ends. \u201cI see [oil prices] going down very substantially when this is over, I think very rapidly too, at levels that you’ve never seen because there\u2019s a lot of energy that they have on ships all over the world that are loaded up with it,\u201d he said. \u201cThey can\u2019t do much with it because they got kidnapped by a pretty evil place. But we\u2019re taking care of it.\u201d<\/p>\n Trump also addressed his falling poll numbers, referring to a survey on the war with Iran. \u201cThey did a poll on the war with Iran, and they said only 32% of people like it. Well, I don\u2019t like it, and I don\u2019t like war at all,\u201d he said. \u201cBut we\u2019re equipped better. We have the greatest military in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cWhen you explain it like \u2014 ‘is it okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon?’ \u2014 it wouldn’t be 32%. But even if you said that, there’d be 32%, because the polls are fake. I mean, they\u2019re totally fake.\u201d<\/p>\n Tensions have surged in the Persian Gulf over the past day. Trump announced Sunday what he called \u201cProject Freedom,\u201d under which the United States would help free and escort ships stuck in the Strait of Hormuz. Danish shipping giant Maersk said a vessel operated by one of its subsidiaries had crossed the strait. The United States earlier said two ships had crossed Hormuz under the new project.<\/p>\n The U.S. military later confirmed that Iran had launched missiles, drones and small boats toward vessels under U.S. protection in the Strait of Hormuz, as well as toward U.S. military ships.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2 View gallery <\/p>\n (Photo: REUTERS\/Kylie Cooper)<\/p>\n Earlier, Trump told Fox News that if Iran attacked U.S. ships escorting vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, it would be \u201cblown off the face of the Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"\u05e0\u05e9\u05d9\u05d0](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/rJHVs00IAZe_0_0_2887_1925_0_x-large.jpg\" "\\"US")
