US President Donald Trump says he is “low-keying it” with Iran after reporting that he could withdraw from a nuclear deal, despite the United States failing to secure an agreement involving the Strait of Hormuz. The remarks come as Washington seeks to maintain pressure on Tehran while continuing negotiations and economic measures.

According to accounts of Trump’s comments, he argues that economic pressure and related challenges continue to harm Iran, even without a breakthrough on a wider arrangement tied to shipping and access through the Strait of Hormuz. The Independent frames this as a continuation of the president’s broader approach, focusing on how US efforts are intended to affect Iran’s economic conditions.

While the Yahoo UK News outlet emphasizes Trump’s characterization of his stance as “low-keying it,” The Independent highlights the reasoning Trump gives about ongoing economic impact on Iran and the lack of a deal for the Strait of Hormuz. Both describe the same core developments: Trump’s language about engagement, and the reported possibility of moving away from a nuclear arrangement.
