President Trump told Al Jazeera the U.S. was "achieving a very big victory" against Iran but the war "will continue for as long as necessary," with no timetable to resume talks, CBS reported. In a separate radio interview he called Hormuz "a very functioning strait" despite occasional drone or rocket fire.

Why it matters

Maritime analysts told CBS very little oil has moved through the strait since hostilities resumed in early July, contrary to Trump's description.
