- The U.S. has set a deadline of April 6 for Iran to reopen the Strait or face strikes on its energy infrastructure.
- Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian indicated readiness to end the war if sovereignty over the Hormuz Strait is recognized by the U.S.
- Trump suggested that the U.S. could exit Iran “pretty quickly,” with an estimated timeline of two to three weeks for potential conflict resolution.
