Trump hints at swift Strait of Hormuz resolution amid ongoing maritime standoff

US President Donald Trump suggested a resolution to the Strait of Hormuz standoff could materialize within days, stating a deal might be struck "today or tomorrow." Speaking on ongoing tensions, Trump downplayed the urgency of full diplomatic engagement, pointing to Iran's severe inflation and financial difficulties.

Tehran maintained that the strategic waterway will remain restricted until Washington alters its policy, while continuing direct talks with Oman to secure maritime shipping routes. However, diplomatic signals remain mixed following earlier warnings from Washington regarding military escalation if regional actions impede US maritime plans. The impasse comes as commercial traffic through the vital corridor dropped by an additional 20 percent following a recent vessel attack.
