Trump said he will soon decide whether to accept an Iran deal and emphasized that the Strait of Hormuz must be open to international shipping, Reuters reported.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most critical oil transit chokepoints, with roughly one-fifth of global petroleum supply passing through it. Recent Middle East tensions have driven oil prices sharply higher, pressuring the global economy.
Analysts say Trump’s statement could signal a significant shift in US Iran policy, though details of any potential agreement remain unclear. International markets are closely monitoring developments.
