Donald Trump is reportedly willing to end the military campaign against Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz remains largely restricted, according to The Wall Street Journal. Citing administration officials, the report states that forcing the reopening of the key maritime route could extend the conflict beyond the planned four-to-six-week timeline. Instead, Trump is considering concluding military operations after reportedly weakening Iran’s naval and missile capabilities, while shifting focus to diplomatic pressure to restore trade flow. The White House has not yet commented on the report. (PC: X)
