Donald Trump has reportedly acknowledged that he may need to conclude the conflict with Iran without securing a nuclear deal. The conflict began on February 28, 2026, when Trump and Israel initiated air strikes against Iranian leadership. Initially, the administration aimed to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, but recent reports suggest that Trump is now focusing on ensuring the safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz. According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump has expressed to aides that achieving a nuclear settlement is unlikely. The closure of this waterway by Iran has impacted global oil supply and contributed to rising gas prices in the U.S. ahead of the midterm elections. Trump has attempted to reassure his aides by suggesting that Iran is not expected to resume its nuclear program during his presidency, citing prior American strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. He has also indicated that the U.S. is taking a less aggressive approach to negotiations, allowing Iran's economic difficulties to influence their willingness to engage in talks.
