The Wall Street Journal: Trump is ready to end the conflict with Iran without a nuclear deal on condition that the Strait of Hormuz be reopened
The Wall Street Journal reported, citing US officials, that President Donald Trump told his senior advisers that he is prepared to end the military standoff with Iran without reaching a new nuclear agreement, provided that Tehran reopens the Strait of Hormuz fully to international navigation.
This shift represents a significant change in Washington’s strategy to focus on securing the vital waterway for global energy supplies. However, talks remain complex in light of the demands raised by Tehran to reopen the strait, including lifting sanctions and providing financial compensation.
