🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — NEW: President Trump has told aides he is open to ending the U.S. military campaign against Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed, according to WSJ, citing administration officials.

➡️ He and his team concluded that reopening the waterway would likely extend the conflict beyond his preferred four- to six-week timeline.

➡️ Instead, the U.S. aims to weaken Iran’s naval and missile capabilities before scaling back operations and shifting to diplomatic pressure to restore shipping.

➡️ If diplomacy fails, Washington will press European and Gulf allies to take the lead in reopening the strait.
