Trump Considers Ending Iran Conflict Without Nuclear Deal If Hormuz Reopens
US President Donald Trump has considered ending the conflict with Iran without securing a nuclear deal, focusing instead on reopening the Strait of Hormuz for commercial shipping. This shift follows Iran's demands for US payments, troop withdrawals, and lifting of a naval blockade as conditions for reopening the strategic waterway. The evolving negotiations reflect Tehran's readiness for a prolonged conflict and complicate US efforts to declare victory ahead of upcoming midterm elections.
