U.S. President Donald Trump and senior aides say negotiations with Iran are continuing and that the Strait of Hormuz could reopen soon. The Hindu reports Trump characterizes the talks as progressing and says the waterway could reopen “as soon as tomorrow.” NDTV similarly cites comments from Trump’s aide, who says the strait could be opened “today or tomorrow.” Both accounts link the timing to recent statements by Trump suggesting a rapid shift in posture after he pulled back from threats of a large military strike on Iran. While the sources emphasize the possibility of a near-term reopening, neither provides further operational details on what specific steps have been taken, what conditions are attached, or any confirmed timeline from Iran or other parties. The reports present the remarks as statements by U.S. officials amid ongoing diplomacy, with the central common point being the expectation that access to the strategic waterway may resume within hours to a day.
