Trump aimed to end Iran conflict swiftly to protect economy and approval
A report revealed that the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump was aiming to reach an agreement with Iran to quickly end the war, in order to minimize the negative impact on the global economy and to garner greater popularity in the elections. In June, a decision was made to pursue a framework agreement that would include opening the Strait of Hormuz and resolving the nuclear program, supported by officials such as the Treasury Secretary and the Energy Secretary. However, other officials, such as the CIA Director and the Defense Secretary, questioned Iran’s ability to adhere to potential understandings. This comes after a memorandum of understanding was signed between Washington and Tehran concerning ending the conflict and lifting the blockade on Iranian ports, with a set timetable of 60 days for nuclear negotiations. During this period, the United States lifted its blockade on the ports and announced the transit of more than 12 million barrels of oil through the Strait of Hormuz.
