US President Donald Trump's approach to the Iran conflict, particularly regarding the Strait of Hormuz, has displayed significant inconsistency. Initially, Trump adopted a hardline stance, warning of severe military repercussions if Iran did not reopen the strait, which had been closed by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). He criticized NATO allies for not supporting US efforts to secure the waterway and threatened to target Iran's energy infrastructure if the situation was not resolved within ten days. However, in a surprising turn, Trump later claimed that the US and Iran had engaged in 'very good and productive conversations' aimed at resolving hostilities, even postponing military action contingent on these discussions. This conciliatory tone was short-lived, as Trump soon described Iranian negotiators as 'strange' and warned them to get serious about negotiations. The oscillation between threats and diplomatic overtures has raised concerns among analysts about the stability and clarity of US policy in this critical region.
