Reuters, citing the Wall Street Journal and unnamed U.S. officials, reported that Trump expects bombing to resume after November’s congressional elections. Iran’s proposal reportedly tied reopening the strait to unspecified conditions, while the United States has not publicly confirmed the reported timeline. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical passage for global oil shipments, so renewed military action could escalate tensions across the Gulf and affect energy markets and international shipping.
