Donald Trump claimed that Iran has informed the United States it is in a “state of collapse” and requested the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Posting on social media, Trump said Tehran is struggling with internal leadership divisions and is seeking urgent relief. However, the White House has not confirmed the source or nature of this communication. The US administration remains cautious about Iran’s proposal to end the conflict and reopen the strategic waterway, especially as it delays discussions on Tehran’s nuclear programme. Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasised that any agreement must prevent Iran from pursuing nuclear weapons.
