Trump’s Iran exit strategy collides with Hormuz leverage

Curated summary

Multiple reports say Donald Trump is preparing to declare victory in the Iran conflict if the Strait of Hormuz fully reopens, even without a nuclear deal. But Iran is not giving ground cheaply: its demands include US payments, troop withdrawal, an end to sanctions and the naval blockade, plus compensation and frozen assets. The immediate question is whether a ceasefire can hold long enough for traffic through the waterway to normalize.
