Strait Deal Near as Trump Weighs Compromise | Lubbock News

A potential deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is nearing reality, but control remains the sticking point—Iran wants a say and possibly tolls, while the U.S. fiercely resists any loss of leverage. With Iran still capable of disrupting shipping via drones and missiles, high oil prices are rattling Republicans ahead of midterms, possibly forcing Trump to compromise—even if it clashes with his image as an uncompromising leader. Meanwhile, U.S. military weapons stockpiles are reportedly running low, prompting Pentagon pleas for funding, even as Trump tweets confidence in America’s arsenal. A possible compromise could see Iranian-controlled entry into the Persian Gulf and Omani-controlled exit—though the U.S. insists no fees will be allowed.
