Al-Iraqaji on Iran talks; Trump: Hormuz open
U.S. President Donald Trump affirmed that the Strait of Hormuz is now open for navigation, and Iran's ability to threaten ships has significantly decreased. He considered that Washington has succeeded in shifting the balance of power in this strategic maritime passage over the past two months. Trump stated that Iran's leverage has diminished and that increased U.S. control over the strait could aid in negotiating a better agreement with Tehran, especially after deteriorating shipping traffic and attacks on vessels, which led to a sharp rise in oil prices. He explained that American operations—including mine-clearing and countering attacks—have successfully kept the corridor free of maritime threats. However, officials pointed out that Iran has previously deployed sea mines. Iran, on the other hand, confirmed that re-engaging diplomatically with the United States is not impossible, provided Washington changes its approach and builds trust. Iran expressed that pressure and sanctions are ineffective.
