Trump eyes Iran exit before Hormuz shutdown ends

US President Donald Trump stated the US could halt attacks on Iran within a few weeks, even without a formal agreement. He indicated a potential near-term US departure from the region, raising questions about the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump made these remarks to reporters at the White House on Tuesday. He was scheduled to address the nation on Wednesday evening to provide an update on Iran. The timing of these statements coincides with ongoing tensions in the region and potential implications for global oil markets, as reflected in Brent crude prices.
