Trump wants to end the war with Iran while the Strait of Hormuz is closed

Comparing news, according to the Wall Street Journal, US government officials revealed that US President Trump has indicated to his staff that even if the Strait of Hormuz is still basically closed, he is willing to end the US military operation against Iran. The move could prolong Tehran's firm control over the waterway and leave the complex operation of reopening the strait to a later date. Recently, Trump and his advisors assessed that the task of opening up this gateway would extend the conflict beyond the four-to-six-week schedule he set. Trump has decided that the US should achieve the main goal of weakening Iran's naval and missile stocks, gradually end the current war, and at the same time put pressure on Iran through diplomatic channels to resume free trade. Officials said that if this move fails, Washington will pressure its allies in Europe and the Gulf region to take the lead in reopening the straits. They say Trump could also choose a military option, but this is not his current priority.
