Global leaders are meeting to discuss the Strait of Hormuz. US President Donald Trump expects it to reopen soon. However, European allies are cautious. They need clarity on an interim agreement with Iran before committing to de-mining and patrols. The situation remains complex, with differing timelines and potential challenges ahead for ensuring safe passage.

Iran has insisted it will maintain control over the Strait of Hormuz, a key maritime trade route for oil and gas shipments from the Gulf.

Trump said the US reached a deal with Iran on Sunday to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a possible end to a 15-week conflict that upended global oil markets.
