President Donald Trump announced that he had spent an entire day in talks with Iranian officials, with the possibility of finalizing a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as early as Wednesday or Thursday, according to a statement reported by The Times of Israel.
The Times of Israel reported that the talks were held over a single day and that if a deal is reached it could allow Iranian oil shipments to resume through the strategic waterway. The Associated Press echoed the timing, noting that the deal to reopen the Strait could be achieved as early as Wednesday. No additional specifics about the content of the discussions or the parties involved were disclosed in either report.
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil transport; its recent closure during regional conflict has had significant economic and security implications. A reopening would therefore be a notable shift in Gulf dynamics.
