Trump tells aides he is willing to end Iran war without reopening Hormuz, WSJ reports
Trump aims to end the Iran conflict within six weeks by degrading Iran's military, leaving reopening the Strait of Hormuz to diplomatic efforts or allies, despite its strategic importance.
- President Donald Trump told aides on Tuesday he wants to end military operations against Iran within four to six weeks, even if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing administration officials.
- Iran's Parliament Security Committee formalized a 'Strait of Hormuz Management Plan' on Monday, establishing tolls for passage and banning U.S. and Israeli vessels, formalizing Tehran's control over the critical waterway.
- Energy supply disruptions pushed crude prices above $100 per barrel, while average U.S. gasoline prices hit $4 a gallon last night, according to Gas Buddy, as Iran maintains its selective closure of the chokepoint.
- If diplomatic pressure fails to reopen the strait, Washington plans to press European and Gulf allies to take the lead, deferring the complex clearance operation to international partners rather than extending U.S. military operations.
- Rerouting oil pipelines westward across Saudi Arabia to the Red Sea and Mediterranean could bypass Iran's geographic choke point long-term, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu explained to Newsmax, offering an alternative to military reopening efforts.
