U.S. Treasury Secretary Says Deal with Iran to Reopen Strait of Hormuz Could Be Reached ”Today or Tomorrow”
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the United States and Iran might reach an agreement as soon as today or tomorrow to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping traffic, ensuring "freedom of navigation" through the strategic waterway.
In an interview with CNBC, Bessent explained that negotiations between Washington and Tehran are actively ongoing. He emphasized that there is a genuine window to strike a deal within the next 24 to 48 hours, a move that would facilitate the reopening of the strait and mark a shift toward a more normalized situation amid the ongoing conflict.
