Iran says Trump threats signal desperation, suggests conditions for Hormuz reopening
Iran linked any reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to conditions it would set, as Tehran signaled a potential diplomatic off-ramp.
Iran said President Donald Trump’s threats reflect what it called “strategic desperation” and proposed conditions under which traffic through the Strait of Hormuz could be restored, CNBC Markets reports.
The Iranian comments point to renewed, though fragile, hopes for a diplomatic pathway to ease tensions around the vital shipping chokepoint.
CNBC World reports that Tehran’s proposal could revive discussion of an off-ramp intended to reduce disruption risk tied to the Strait of Hormuz.
