Report: Trump faces tough choices as Iran dangles deal to reopen Hormuz before US midterms

The Guardian — World has covered a development concerning “Report: Trump faces tough choices as Iran dangles deal to reopen Hormuz before US midterms,” with the available account limited to the facts included in the supplied text.

Iran’s seven-day timetable would restart nuclear talks, but is expected to the US be willing to deliver on terms that include reining in Israel in Lebanon? The report also notes that Iran’s seven-day timetable to reopen the strait of Hormuz and start talks on its nuclear programme has been pitched as a agreement that could rapidly extricate Donald Trump from a political crisis but requires the US president to make difficult concessions. In the five days left ahead of the proposed reopening of the strait, which is expected to relieve pressure on global energy markets, Trump would need to lift Iranian asset freezes, permit Iran to export its oil and, probably most difficult of all, order Benjamin Netanyahu to end Israel’s attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon, thus achieving the “ceasefire on all fronts”.
