We’d save a lot of lives, save a lot of unnecessary power,” President Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. He said he suspended the planned attack after Iran requested renewed negotiations, a claim Tehran has denied. There’s a deal on Hormuz, and then there will be a deal on the denuclearization of Iran,” he said. President Trump’s latest comments indicate the issue of reopening the Strait of Hormuz would be addressed before negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program, differing from remarks on Saturday in which he said the proposed agreement would address both issues. As President Trump announced the planned talks, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations reported additional security incidents near the Strait of Hormuz.
