Donald Trump said a deal with Iran was in the “final throes” and suggested the Strait of Hormuz could reopen within two or three days if an agreement is reached, according to multiple reports on Tuesday, June 9.
The comments came as indirect US-Iran talks continued and regional tensions remained high amid the Israel-Iran conflict. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most sensitive shipping routes, and any change to its status would have immediate implications for energy flows and global markets.
What Trump said
According to reporting from Reuters-linked coverage, the Associated Press, The Guardian and Al Jazeera, Trump said a deal could be reached quickly and that the strait could open soon after an agreement is signed.
He also warned that if talks break down, the closure could drag on for months.
Why it matters
The strait is a critical chokepoint for oil and gas shipments, making it a central issue in any broader Iran agreement. The prospect of a reopening was presented as conditional, not confirmed, and the reports did not include any official statement from Iran or the United States confirming a final deal.
The latest remarks suggest a fast-moving diplomatic track, but the underlying questions remain unresolved: whether Tehran will accept an agreement, whether any reopening would be immediate or partial, and whether the talks can hold as violence continues in the region.
