White House AI czar David Sacks said on Friday the U.S. should “declare ​victory and get out” of its war on Iran, ‌a rare instance of a prominent figure in Donald Trump’s administration calling for an exit from the Iran conflict, Reuters reported.

Here are ​some details:

“This is a good time to ​declare victory and get out,” Sacks, Trump’s ⁠crypto and AI czar, said in an appearance ​on the “All-In Podcast.”

Sacks said the U.S. had degraded Iran’s ​military capabilities.

“I agree that we should try to find the off-ramp,” he added.

“If escalation doesn’t lead anywhere good, then you ​have to think about, well, how do you ​de-escalate? De-escalation, I think, involves reaching some sort of ceasefire ‌agreement ⁠or some sort of negotiated settlement with Iran,” he said.

The U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on February 28. Iran and its ally in Lebanon, Hezbollah, ​have responded with ​strikes on ⁠Israel and other countries in the Middle East.

The war has shaken global markets ​and raised oil prices.

Iran’s U.N. ambassador ​says ⁠over 1,300 people have been killed in Iran in U.S. and Israeli attacks. Israel says 12 people have been ⁠killed ​in Israel by Iranian attacks. ​The U.S. military says seven of its members have been killed.

The U.S. has issued a 30-day waiver for countries to buy sanctioned Russian petroleum products currently at sea, hoping to ease oil and gas prices driven up by the war the U.S. and Israel are waging on Iran.

However, the waiver appeared to have little effect, with ​benchmark Brent crude back up to $101 by 1000 GMT on Friday, with Asian shares also under pressure.

The Israeli military said it had launched strikes across Tehran and continued to carry out strikes on the Iranian-allied Hezbollah militia across Lebanon, including on the capital Beirut, as Iranian media reported rallies for Quds (Jerusalem) Day beginning across Iran in support of the Palestinians.

The sounds of explosions and fighter jets were heard in the Iranian capital and in Karaj to the west of Tehran, Iranian media said.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said Thursday that it carried out an attack on an oil tanker linked to a U.S. company in the Strait of Hormuz after the vessel allegedly ignored repeated warnings from Iranian authorities.

In a statement, the IRGC said the tanker Safesea Vishnu, which it described as owned by a U.S. company and sailing under the flag of the Marshall Islands, was struck north of the strategic waterway early in the morning.

Iranian officials claimed the ship failed to comply with maritime instructions issued by Iranian forces operating in the area.

The IRGC warned that shipping traffic in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz faces increasing risks, placing responsibility for the heightened tensions on the United States. The IRGC urged commercial vessels transiting the region to follow Iranian maritime regulations in order to avoid potential attacks.

The incident comes amid a broader escalation of hostilities between Iran, the United States, and Israel.

On March 2, Tehran announced it was closing the Strait of Hormuz in response to ongoing U.S. and Israeli military operations against Iran. The strait is one of the world’s most critical energy corridors, carrying a significant share of global oil shipments.

Since the announcement, shipping and insurance costs in the region have surged, while global oil prices have risen amid fears of supply disruptions. Analysts warn that prolonged instability in the waterway could have major economic consequences worldwide.

The reported attack also follows continued U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iranian targets that began on February 28. Iranian authorities say the strikes have killed around 1,300 people and wounded more than 10,000 others.

In response, Tehran has launched drone and missile attacks targeting Israeli territory as well as locations in Iraq and several Gulf states that host U.S. military facilities, raising concerns about a widening regional conflict and threats to international shipping routes.
