US President Donald Trump is said to be increasingly frustrated with the stance of the Iranian administration in ongoing negotiations with Iran. According to a CNN report, some sources close to Trump believe the US leader has warmed more to the option of a large-scale military operation compared to recent weeks.
White House sources reported that Trump is particularly angered by the failure to make progress in nuclear negotiations due to the Strait of Hormuz not being fully reopened and disagreements within the Iranian leadership.
"STUPID AND COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE"
It was stated that Trump described Iran's latest offer as "completely unacceptable" and "stupid." While the US administration questions whether Tehran is taking a serious position at the negotiating table, it was noted that Iran's demands have caused significant discomfort in Washington.
According to information in the foreign press, Iran has put forward conditions such as lifting sanctions, reducing US military presence in the region, and ending pressure on the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran also seeks a temporary and limited agreement rather than completely halting uranium enrichment activities.
STRAIT OF HORMUZ AT THE CENTER OF THE CRISIS
Tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most critical energy transit points, are increasing concern in global markets. Sources speaking to Bloomberg and Reuters reported that the US administration's priority is to restore commercial transit through the strait to full capacity.
Trump previously announced that under a military plan called "Project Freedom," the US Navy would provide protection to commercial vessels, and later temporarily suspended the operation in hopes of progress in negotiations.
DEBATE OVER "NEW OPERATION" IN THE US
According to CNN, some advisors close to Trump believe Iran is using the negotiation process to buy time. Therefore, it is reported that tough military options are back on the table in Washington.
Meanwhile, it is claimed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is also pressuring the Trump administration to completely eliminate Iran's nuclear capabilities.
Experts agree that if no agreement is reached between the parties, a new wave of crisis could begin in the Strait of Hormuz, with serious impacts on oil prices.
