Hegseth’s timeline for Strait of Hormuz is a bit murky
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth provided conflicting timelines for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, stating it would happen 'immediately' upon a U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding but later offering a less definitive schedule. President Donald Trump emphasized the strait must reopen for a peace deal, while recent Israeli attacks on Hezbollah in Beirut raised concerns about the agreement's stability.
