Trump Thought Opening the Strait of Hormuz Was Imminent. Iran Had Other Plans.

Tehran’s new demands for major concessions come days after the White House had signaled a deal to clear commercial passage was within reach

WASHINGTON—For weeks, President Trump had been laying the groundwork to declare victory in the Iran war should Tehran fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz, even floating the idea privately to senior aides that he’s willing to walk away without a nuclear deal, U.S. officials said.

But that scaled-back objective became more difficult when Iran insisted Saturday on its highest price yet for permitting the free flow of traffic in the waterway, seeking billions of dollars in U.S. payments, the removal of American troops from the region and an end of the U.S. naval blockade, among other things.

“This rapid chain of events suggests Trump’s options for walking away from the conflict have again narrowed.”

"he’s willing to walk away without a nuclear deal"

i was going to note that was his entire reason for the war, but he has helpfully said it again specifically:

"
I see that Representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran are asking for compensation for the damage done to them during the last five month Military Conflict (started because, THEY WILL NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON)...
"
