Trump Says Talks with Iran Moving Forward, Focus on Strait of Hormuz

Trump made the remarks to reporters on his way to Las Vegas from Los Angeles. He said there are ongoing talks behind the scenes and things are moving in the right direction. Trump also said that a deal is the best option for Iran. Ad US President Trump claimed that senior Iranian officials have contacted the United States themselves and have expressed a desire to negotiate. He said that many issues have been discussed between the two sides and now the next two days could be crucial for the whole world. Trump claims that the situation will soon be completely clear. The biggest focus of this development is the Strait of Hormuz. It is considered one of the world's most important sea trade routes, which supplies a large amount of crude oil and gas. It is reported that after the breakdown of the 14-point agreement between the United States and Iran in July, tensions over this sea route have increased significantly. Now the United States, Iran and Oman are working together on an interim agreement to re-open the seaport.
