Several UK outlets report that US President Donald Trump is considering an arrangement that would give Iran a greater role or control over the Strait of Hormuz as part of efforts to reopen the strategic waterway. Both sources link the proposed change to the impact of the recent conflict, which began after US and Israeli strikes on Iranian sites. The outlets also emphasize the importance of the strait to global energy supplies, noting that about 20% of the world’s traded oil typically moves through the waterway. One report frames the approach as Iran receiving control it did not previously have, while another describes the plan more generally as granting Iran “greater control.” The accounts do not provide detailed terms of any agreement in the material provided, nor do they specify enforcement mechanisms, timelines, or how other countries’ interests would be protected. Overall, the reports portray the issue as connected to reopening shipping and restoring oil flows through a key maritime chokepoint following hostilities involving Iran.
