Before the war began, there are United States vessels that are also passing through the strait. I think Trump wish the war to have end but Iran is demanding for something that Trump can not offer which make him make that statement. I do not know but I only just guess.
Who wouldn't be upset during the mediation period but they bombed the leader of Iran, just imagine.
This is the condition Trump gave Iran for peace.
Some key elements reportedly include:
The dismantling of Iran's nuclear facilities in Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow.
A 30-day ceasefire.
A permanent commitment from Iran to never develop nuclear weapons.
The handover of Iran's stockpile of already enriched uranium to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and a commitment from Iran to allow the IAEA to monitor all elements of the country's remaining nuclear infrastructure. Iran must also no longer enrich uranium within the country.
Limits on the range and number of Iran's missiles.
Ending Iran's support for regional proxies.
Ending Iranian strikes on regional energy facilities.
Reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
A removal of all sanctions imposed on Iran, alongside the ending of the UN mechanism that allows sanctions to be reimposed.
The provision of US support for electricity generation at Iran's Bushehr civil nuclear plant.
And Iran responded to that condition with the conditions they offered to Trump from the Iranian side:
Pezeshkian wrote: “The only way to end this war - ignited by the Zionist regime & the US - is recognizing Iran's legitimate rights, payment of reparations, and firm int'l guarantees against future aggression.”
It is understood that Iran would also want all sanctions against it to be lifted.
Additionally, Iran's state-owned Press TV quoted an Iranian official as saying over the weekend that Tehran was seeking the closure of all US military bases in the region, and a new legal mechanism to control transit through the Strait of Hormuz that formalizes its de facto dominance over the waterway.
And that's a very tough ask for Trump to agree to because it's really like driving them out of influence in the gulf of Hormuz countries including from the strait of Hormuz itself, I think if Trump wanted to be really peaceful then, Trump could agree to it, it's just that he would lose very big but I'm sure that Trump doesn't want that, he won't get anything out of the aggression that he has done.
