The president of the United States, Donald Trump, has assured this Tuesday that Iran is pushing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz “as soon as possible” amid negotiations between both countries to curb the war.
In a message published on his social network Truth Social, Trump maintains that the Iranian regime would have conveyed to him that it is in a “state of collapse” and without clear leadership, while it seeks to stabilize its internal and economic situation.
“They want us to open the Strait of Hormuz as soon as possible while they try to clarify their leadership situation,” the leader wrote, adding that he is confident Iran can reorganize.
A strategic route under global pressure
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most sensitive points in global energy trade, as a significant portion of global oil transits through it. Any disruption to its operation has a direct impact on international markets and the price of crude oil.
Trump's reference to his possible reopening comes at a time of maximum uncertainty in the region, marked by political tensions, cross threats, and the absence of progress in diplomatic dialogue.
Stalled negotiations between
The conversations between the United States and Iran are going through a diplomatic deadlock after the cancellation of a meeting scheduled in Islamabad, which was to be held last Saturday.
The meeting was part of a series of contacts initiated weeks ago in the Pakistani capital, but the last round ended without agreement and with significant disagreements over the conditions of the dialogue.
According to sources close to the process, the lack of consensus has halted any immediate progress, leaving the possibility of an approach between both administrations in suspense.
The statements of the US president arrive on a day marked by the official visit of King Charles III to the United Kingdom in Washington, in a diplomatic agenda aimed at reinforcing bilateral relations between both countries.
