Summary
An international analyst detailed the new US strategy to face Iran. July 15, 2026 — 1:54am US President Donald Trump stepped back from a proposal to charge a 20 per cent fee to guard the Strait of Hormuz as part of the conflict with Iran, saying he would instead seek investment deals with Gulf states. In this regard, he explained that he will replace him with trade agreements with the Gulf allies.
Furthermore, Prices for both types of crude oil recently had slipped back to around the levels they were at before the war with Iran began, after the two sides set an interim agreement on ending the conflict and ships resumed transporting oil through the Strait of Hormuz. "It is natural for Iran to control the Strait of Hormuz, just as it is natural for other countries to have the right to use it." "What is happening in the Strait of Hormuz is a pretext for implementing the plans to establish [United States’] dominance in the region.". When asked later about his volte-face, the U.S. president said he preferred this option.
In addition, We had an agreement yesterday or the day before, everything was done and then they broke that agreement immediately because they found out there was something in the agreement they didn't like.
