Ongoing focus on progress in U.S.-Iran talks and the issue of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz

Trump pressures Israel, asking it to slow down attacks on Lebanon. According to reports, to prevent Israel’s military action in Lebanon from interfering with the upcoming U.S.-Iran talks, U.S. President Trump has asked Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to reduce the intensity of strikes on Lebanon.

It was reported that Trump spoke with Netanyahu and said “severely” that the U.S. understands Israel’s security demands, but in order to safeguard the upcoming talks, Israel should slow down its military strikes on Lebanon. A U.S. official said that the two sides’ call time this time was “shorter than in the past.”

The official said that the Trump administration had never previously asked Israel to slow down its military actions against Hezbollah in Lebanon. The pressure this time is due to allegations by Iran and the mediator Pakistan that Israel violated the ceasefire agreement. Trump is worried that continued strikes would affect a ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran and interfere with the opening of the Strait of Hormuz.

The White House said the Strait of Hormuz could be opened within two months. According to a report by CCTV News, on April 10, White House economic adviser Hassett said that the Strait of Hormuz could be opened within two months: “We have backup plans to open the Strait of Hormuz.”

A senior Iranian lawmaker said that a parliamentary proposal would permanently ban oil tankers linked to the United States and Israel from passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Ebrahim Azizi, chairman of the National Security Committee of the Iranian Parliament, said that ships associated with Israel or traveling to and from Israel would also be banned from passage, and added that this ban would include countries that take action against the “resistance front.”
