In a significant development in the ongoing Middle East crisis, former US President Donald Trump has revealed that negotiations aimed at reopening the crucial Strait of Hormuz and addressing Iran's nuclear program are set to begin within the next 48 hours. The Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway that connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman, has been a focal point of tension between the US and Iran, with the latter's Revolutionary Guard Corps seizing oil tankers in the area in recent years. Trump's announcement suggests a potential thaw in relations between the two nations, which could have far-reaching implications for regional stability and global energy markets. The upcoming talks are expected to focus on finding a mutually acceptable solution that addresses US concerns about Iran's nuclear ambitions while also allowing Tehran to maintain its sovereignty.


Trump said in the Oval Office on Monday he expects negotiations that will reopen the Strait of Hormuz and create a pathway for Iran to address the United States' concerns about its nuclear program will begin in the next day or two.
