Trump claims that the Holmuze Channel Agreement has not yet been concluded and is being negotiated

On 7 August, United States President Trump local time stated on 6 August that the agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz “can't be said to have been formally reached”, but that the Strait was now “sometimes open” and that the United States was participating in the negotiations and was making good progress as a whole. According to Trump, the United States Navy is currently carrying out a blockade against Iran and controlling the relevant maritime areas, but security risks such as mines may still affect the passage of commercial vessels. He indicated that he was participating in the negotiations and believed that the situation was moving in a positive direction。
