US President Donald Trump says any deal with Iran must include immediate access through the Strait of Hormuz. According to reports, Trump makes the point while discussing the status of negotiations and the conditions the US would require from any agreement. He also signals that the US is prepared to take action if talks fail. While describing himself as “in no hurry,” Trump warns that the US would “do some things that are a little bit nasty” if negotiations do not reach an outcome that satisfies US demands.
Both outlets frame Trump’s comments around the strategic importance of the waterway and the need for immediate openness as a condition for an Iran-related agreement. The reporting focuses on Trump’s stated negotiating position and his warning of potential consequences if the US and Iran do not agree. The sources do not provide further details of the proposed deal terms beyond the requirement related to shipping access through the Strait of Hormuz.
