Donald Trump Of Strait Of Hormuz Reopening:
While speaking on the Strait of Hormuz blockade, Trump said that it is a key global trade route and the US would not take responsibility for reopening it. “That’s not for us. That’ll be for France. That’ll be for whoever’s using the strait,” he said. Trump further added that there is no reason for the US to secure it.
Earlier on Monday, a report surfaced claiming that the US President wanted to end the Iran war without the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Notably, if the US pulled out of the war, it would extend Iran’s grip on the strait, a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman that connects the oil- and gas-producing Gulf countries to the rest of the world. Nearly one-fifth of the total energy trade happens through this route.
According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, Trump told aides he is willing to end the US military campaign against Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz remains close. Officials in the US administration believe that if the military operation against Iran for the opening of the strait continues beyond its timeline of four to six weeks, it would extend the conflict.
