WASHINGTON, United States – Web Desk: US President Donald Trump has said he wants a long-term and stable agreement with Iran, adding that the United States would support reopening the Strait of Hormuz if a deal is reached.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said he would not rush into any agreement and is instead seeking a lasting settlement that could remain in place permanently.
He said the US is prepared to open the Strait of Hormuz as part of a broader agreement, describing it as a key global shipping route.
Trump also claimed the US has “full control” over the strategic waterway and said Iran has been given an opportunity to reach a better deal, with talks still ongoing.
He added that the ongoing restrictions in the region are affecting Iran’s economy and limiting its ability to conduct normal trade activities.
The US president further claimed that significant strategic objectives have already been achieved during the current period of tension, though he did not provide evidence for the figures he mentioned.
Trump also said that Iran’s leadership situation remains uncertain and described the country as facing internal instability, while insisting diplomatic contacts continue.
On nuclear concerns, he reiterated that the US would not use nuclear weapons in the conflict and emphasized that Washington seeks a long-term peace agreement rather than a short-term arrangement.
He also warned US citizens of possible short-term increases in fuel prices, saying costs could later stabilize once the situation improves.
