$500 Million Dollars a day! Donald Trump claims Iran ‘wants’ Strait of Hormuz open for this reason

US President Donald Trump claims Iran is privately desperate to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, despite its public stance on closure. He suggests Iran's rhetoric is performative, aimed at preserving domestic and regional credibility, and that the country is losing $500 million a day due to halted oil flows. Trump warns against a premature easing of pressure, arguing it would weaken Washington's negotiating position.
