Trump Hints at Further Iran Negotiations After Exchange of Fire Over Hormuz The latest exchange of fire between the US and Iran over the Strait of Hormuz has brought the fragile ceasefire to the brink of collapse, yet President Donald Trump's claim that Washington is open to further negotiations raises more questions than answers.
The June 17 memorandum of understanding, which aimed to establish an immediate end to fighting, the lifting of the US naval blockade on Iran, and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, has been repeatedly violated by both parties.
The agreement's collapse is not surprising given the fundamental differences between the two countries' perspectives on the Strait.
