No breakthrough on Strait of Hormuz as Trump halts attack on Iran
Iran says Trump’s comment on pullback from threatened strikes made ‘within the context of psychological operations’.
Source excerpt
Tehran, Iran – United States President Donald Trump has once again held off on launching a major attack against Iran, but no resolution appears in sight on how to manage traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.
The Fars news outlet affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said numerous ships were stuck in the northern corridor of the strategically vital waterway in Iranian waters on Sunday noon – and they could only pass if Iran’s armed forces allowed.
Iranian authorities have said the same will remain true for a southern sea corridor passing through Oman’s territorial waters.
Announcing his decision not to go ahead with the threatened attack, Trump said it followed a request from Iran and other regional countries after the “perimeters of a deal” had been agreed upon.
