Trump Says Iran in “Collapse”, Requests Reopening of Strait of Hormuz
(MENAFN) U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that Iran is experiencing severe internal instability and has allegedly asked Washington to reopen a key maritime route, according to his statements on social media.
Writing on Truth Social, Trump said: “Iran has just informed us that they are in a ‘State of Collapse’,” adding, “They want us to ‘Open the Hormuz Strait,’ as soon as possible, as they try to figure out their leadership situation (Which I believe they will be able to do!).”
The claim has not been independently verified, and no Iranian officials have publicly confirmed such communication.
The remarks come amid reporting that Trump has expressed dissatisfaction with a proposal attributed to Tehran regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and a potential pathway toward ending hostilities involving the United States and Israel. According to reporting cited from a media outlet, the proposal was discussed in a White House Situation Room briefing, though details remain unconfirmed.
The reported plan is said to include ending restrictions on Iranian ports, extending or formalizing a ceasefire, and initiating nuclear negotiations after maritime conditions are eased. However, it reportedly does not address Iran’s nuclear program, a central issue for Washington.
The developments follow a period of heightened regional tensions after reported military operations between the United States, Israel, and Iran earlier this year, which led to significant casualties and were later followed by a temporary ceasefire announced in April through mediation efforts.
