Trump said the negotiation results would be good, but the Strait of Hormuz is still on the brink of conflict; I know this script well—make a statement first, then delay, and finally find a way to back down. Energy prices are his Achilles' heel; as for those billions in frozen funds? He’s well aware of the political costs.

CryptoWorld News reports that earlier today, Trump stated that negotiations with Iran over a temporary peace agreement will "result in very good outcomes," despite renewed clashes between the two countries' forces near the Strait of Hormuz. Trump is currently under pressure to end this war, which has driven up energy prices and is unpopular with most Americans. However, if Washington unfreezes billions of dollars in Iranian funds at Tehran's request, he could face criticism that may follow, and he needs to strike a balance between the two. Trump's post today regarding the negotiations is his first statement since a White House Situation Room meeting on Friday, during which he said he would make a "final decision." However, as both sides continue negotiations on details such as Iran's high-enriched uranium stockpile and how to reopen the Strait of Hormuz (possibly after mine clearance), he has delayed that decision.
