Trump Willing to End Iran War Without Strait of Hormuz Reopening
Trump's Willingness for a 'Partial Peace'
Donald Trump, the US President, has reportedly indicated to his close associates his willingness to conclude the war with Iran regardless of whether the Strait of Hormuz is reopened. This move is interpreted as reflecting Trump's desire for a swift end to the conflict.
