JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 President Trump willing to end Iran war without a nuclear deal if Strait of Hormuz reopens, WSJ reports.

What happened

President Trump said he would end the war with Iran without a nuclear agreement if the Strait of Hormuz is reopened, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Reopening the Strait of Hormuz, the main route for oil shipments, would lower transport costs and ease global oil supply pressures; ending the war without a nuclear deal could change U.S. negotiating power, meaning less reliance on nuclear talks.

Analyst inference

Oil prices have risen as tanker attacks in the Strait cut supply; a de‑escalation could push prices down, boosting energy stocks and reducing volatility for investors tracking crude‑related assets.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Track whether the Strait of Hormuz actually reopens, because reopening directly increases oil flow and can quickly affect crude prices and related stock valuations. Proposed
2. Watch for any official U.S. clarification on what conditions constitute a ‘reopened’ Strait, since the definition will determine if the war‑ending pledge is triggered. Proposed
3. Monitor Iran’s public response to the U.S. offer, as acceptance or rejection will shape regional stability and influence future sanctions or diplomatic actions. Proposed
