Iran live updates: CENTCOM says it launched additional strikes against Iran

President Donald Trump told reporters that he doesn't think the war with Iran will begin again, saying that "anything that happens will be over very quickly."

"I don't think it's going to start again. I think it's going to go very quickly. They hit a couple of ships, and so we hit them much harder. When they hit, we hit 10 times harder," Trump said at a NATO press conference held in Turkey.

"I think anything that happens is going to be over very quickly, and will only make it safer, including for oil. Oil is going to be very free, very free, very easy, and it's going to happen very fast," Trump said.

Trump also said there is a "gusher of oil" now, reemphasizing that anything that happens will be over quickly.

"We're not looking for long term," Trump said.

President Donald Trump told reporters that the U.S. already has Iran’s nuclear material, claiming it's now buried so far underground beneath rubble that only the U.S. could remove it.

Pressed further on if this meant he had no plans to use American troops on the ground to take the material, he said, “Why would I go in now?”

"We've already got the nuclear matter because it's so far underground. Nobody's going to be able to get it except us, because we have the equipment that you can get it. But the -- I call it the nuclear dust -- nuclear material is so far down underneath a mountain, and now that's been determined, that it would take massive machinery that we have that no other country has," Trump said.

"I’d go in when they're completely either eliminated or whatever happens or an agreement is made," Trump said.

Maritime intelligence firm Kpler said there were 41 crossings in the strait of Hormuz on July 7, up from 36 on July 6.

"Use of the Iranian route declined as IMO routing recovered, but elevated Dark or Unknown movements highlighted uneven confidence across the market," Kpler said.

Kpler warned, however, that the situation around the strait remains complex and "the focus is now shifting from traffic recovery towards security, compliance and route risk management."

President Donald Trump said he may reimpose a blockade on Iranian ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

"We may put it back -- the blockade -- and it will only be a blockade for Iran. Anybody else can have whatever they want. Of course, they'll drop some mines if they can if they can do it, but it's hard because we're taking out those little boats now," Trump said.
