BlockBeats message, March 31, according to The Wall Street Journal, U.S. government officials said that U.S. President Trump has told his aides that even if the Strait of Hormuz remains basically closed, he is willing to end the United States’ military action against Iran. This could extend Tehran’s firm control over the waterway and leave the complex operation of reopening the strait for later handling. Recently, Trump and his aides assessed that the task of clearing this choke point would cause the conflict to go beyond his set four- to six-week timeline. Trump has decided that the United States should achieve the main goal of weakening Iran’s navy and missile inventory, gradually wind down the current fighting, and apply pressure to Iran through diplomatic channels, demanding the restoration of free trade. Officials said that if this fails, Washington will pressure European and Gulf-region allies to lead the effort to reopen the strait. They said Trump could also choose a military option, but that is not his current priority. (Gold Ten)
