Donald Trump Plans To End Iran War Without Reopening Hormuz

US President Donald Trump is considering ending the US military campaign in Iran, even if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.

He indicated to aides that he is prepared to wind down military operations against Iran within a four-to-six-week timeline, even if the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed. 

This decision would likely extend Tehran's control over the vital waterway, shifting



the focus to diplomatic efforts to reopen it. 

Trump has expressed willingness to wind down hostilities, having achieved key objectives like weakening Iran's navy and missile capabilities.

According to administration officials, the President believes the US can declare victory by achieving its "core" military goals without being bogged down in a protracted maritime clearance mission
