WSJ: Trump open to diplomacy despite Hormuz blockade move US President Donald Trump remains open to a diplomatic solution with Iran despite ordering a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz following the collapse of talks, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing White House sources. The blockade, aimed at pressuring Iran economically and restoring shipping through the strategic waterway, marks a sharp escalation after negotiations in Islamabad failed to produce a deal. Officials said Washington continues to pursue its core demands, including limits on Iran’s nuclear program, while keeping the door open for renewed diplomacy.
