World ( The cow news digital ) Former U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed that Iran is “on the brink of collapse” and has reportedly expressed a desire for the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, according to his latest remarks shared on social media.
In a statement posted online, Trump asserted that Iran has communicated its worsening internal situation to the United States and is seeking urgent steps to restore stability in global energy routes. He specifically referenced the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a critical passage for global oil shipments, suggesting that Tehran wants it reopened “as soon as possible.”
The comments come amid heightened geopolitical tensions in the Gulf region, where concerns over maritime security and energy supply routes have intensified in recent months.
According to reports from U.S. media outlets, Iran has presented a proposal that includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz as part of a broader diplomatic package. The plan reportedly suggests addressing nuclear-related issues at a later stage. However, Trump is said to be skeptical of the proposal and is not in favor of accepting it in its current form.
American news network CNN reported that despite public perceptions of escalating hostility, diplomatic engagement between Washington and Tehran is continuing behind the scenes. Sources familiar with the matter suggest that indirect communication channels remain active, with discussions focusing on de-escalation measures.
Separately, Iranian officials are said to have conveyed proposals through intermediary channels, including Pakistan, offering phased negotiations. These reportedly include an initial ceasefire agreement followed by a more structured long-term truce framework.
The proposals also link maritime stability in the Strait of Hormuz to broader sanctions relief and demand recognition of Iran’s right to uranium enrichment for peaceful purposes. Tehran has maintained that any comprehensive agreement must address both security concerns and its civilian nuclear program.
The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints, and any disruption in its operation has historically led to volatility in global oil prices. Recent tensions in the region have already contributed to heightened market uncertainty.
While official confirmation from either government remains limited, analysts note that ongoing backchannel diplomacy suggests both sides may still be exploring potential off-ramps to avoid further escalation.
The situation continues to develop amid a complex mix of political pressure, strategic competition, and energy security concerns in the wider Middle East region.
