US President Donald Trump is expected to lift the naval blockade imposed on Iran on the condition that Tehran completely reopens the Strait of Hormuz, according to US officials cited by The Wall Street Journal.
The reported willingness to roll back maritime restrictions comes as Washington assesses potential pathways to resolve the heightened regional tensions and restore global energy traffic through the vital maritime chokepoint.
Ceasefire extension
According to US officials, President Trump may extend the current ceasefire, provided Tehran agrees to curb its nuclear program and ensure the resumption of unhindered navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
In discussions with senior aides, Trump reaffirmed his firm position regarding Iran’s atomic ambitions, asserting that Tehran will not be able to resume its nuclear activity during his presidency.
Despite the diplomatic deadlock, American officials emphasized that President Trump is exercising patience regarding negotiations and is expected to overcome the current diplomatic crisis through ongoing strategy.
