US media: US-Iran conflict in the Strait of Hormuz could last a week or even a month

Odaily Planet Daily reported that the White House is preparing for a possible multi-day or even multi-week confrontation with Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. A US official revealed that the current escalation of the situation could last a day or two, a week, or a month, depending on whether Iran continues to attack commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. "We intend to teach them a lesson and make them understand we are not to be trifled with," the US official said. Diplomacy has stalled, and military pressure has once again become the core of Trump's strategy. US officials stated that the White House sees greater room for escalation, as hundreds of oil tankers have passed through the strait and left the Gulf in recent weeks, alleviating internal concerns that another conflict could immediately trigger a sharp surge in oil prices.
