WSJ: Trump Prepared to End Iran Hostilities Without Nuclear Deal if Strait of Hormuz Reopens
US President Donald Trump has reportedly told senior advisers that he is open to ending the conflict with Iran without securing a new nuclear deal, provided Tehran fully reopens the Strait of Hormuz, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal.
This strategic shift highlights Washington’s increasing focus on restoring free navigation through the vital maritime shipping corridor. However, negotiations remain complex as Tehran has introduced tough conditions—including the lifting of sanctions and war reparations—before agreeing to restore unrestricted traffic through the waterway.
