Al Jazeera is speaking with Kush Desai, special assistant to US President Donald Trump and senior deputy press secretary at the White House.
“We’re very confident we’re going to see a military resolution here in a four to six week timeline”, Desai says, claiming the US has made “astonishing” progress in Iran.
Trump is “working on a plan” to mitigate economic impacts, Desai added, including providing political risk insurance so that cargo ships can begin moving through the Strait of Hormuz.
