Will Trump's firmness hold amid Hormuz tensions
The article discusses President Donald Trump's efforts to reach an agreement to open the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of the world's oil passes, while avoiding concessions to Iran, which is trying to regain control over the waterway. Trump is encountering difficulty in making concessions, especially regarding Iran's control of the strait, despite economic pressures and the need to protect commercial interests. On the other hand, there are expectations that Trump might make temporary concessions to allow vessels to pass through routes under Iranian and Omani control, in an attempt to prevent escalation and maintain navigation movement, while he continues to assert that the strait remains open to commercial ships.
