US President Donald Trump has stated that if the naval blockade is lifted, reaching an agreement with Iran will be impossible, SİA informs.
"Iran doesn't want the Strait of Hormuz closed, they want it open so they can make $500 Million Dollars a day (which is, therefore, what they are losing if it is closed!). They only say they want it closed because I have it totally BLOCKADED (CLOSED!), so they merely want to 'save face.' People approached me four days ago, saying, "Sir, Iran wants to open up the Strait, immediately." But if we do that, there can never be a Deal with Iran, unless we blow up the rest of their Country, their leaders included!" Trump wrote on X.
On February 28, the US and Israel launched military operations against Iran. That same day, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in the strikes. In retaliation, Iran launched missile and drone strikes on Israel and other countries of the region housing US military assets.
Iran, the US, and their allies agreed to a two-week ceasefire on the night of April 8, 2026.
Subsequent negotiations between Iran and the US, mediated by Pakistan, were held in Islamabad on April 11-12.
Trump announced the opening of the Strait of Hormuz to shipping on April 15, despite the continued naval blockade of Iranian ports. This step was taken to preserve relations with China. Later, on April 18, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGC Navy) of Iran announced the closure of the waterway, arguing that this was due to the violation of the ceasefire agreement and the ongoing blockade of Iranian ports by the American military.
