US EditionTrump tells aides he is willing to end Iran war without reopening Hormuz, WSJ reports

- President Donald Trump told aides on Tuesday he wants to end military operations against Iran within four to six weeks, even if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing administration officials.
- Iran's Parliament Security Committee formalized a 'Strait of Hormuz Management Plan' on Monday, establishing tolls for passage and banning U.S. and Israeli vessels, formalizing Tehran's control over the critical waterway.

- Rerouting oil pipelines westward across Saudi Arabia to the Red Sea and Mediterranean could bypass Iran's geographic choke point long-term, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu explained to Newsmax, offering an alternative to military reopening efforts.
