President Donald Trump is signaling that economic pressure remains a central part of the U.S. approach toward Iran as tensions continue across the region. CNN reported Monday that discussions involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz remain unresolved, with the strategically important shipping route still a major point of concern. The developments come as Washington weighs its next steps following the conflict with Iran. The Strait of Hormuz remains especially important because a significant share of the world’s oil and natural gas shipments passes through the narrow waterway. Military options have not been ruled out, leaving the situation closely watched by governments and energy markets worldwide.
