President Trump reportedly reassured the Iranians with promises that Israeli strikes would be restrained, and the siege was opened for under an hour, according to journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). The brief window suggests a tactical diplomatic gesture amid ongoing US-Iran ceasefire talks.
A new report from journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12) says President Donald Trump offered Iran reassurances that Israeli strikes would be restrained, and the siege — the naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz — was briefly lifted for less than an hour before being reimposed.
The moment appears to be the first tangible, though temporary, easing of pressure since the siege entered force. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Trump stated on June 8 that both Israel and Iran seek an immediate ceasefire and that the siege would remain until a final agreement. By June 12, Trump said the US and Iran were close to a 60-day ceasefire deal that would reopen the Strait without tolls.
The brief window described by Rozentzweig does not appear to amount to a permanent lifting, which Trump has said depends on a final accord. Israeli officials were reportedly surprised by Trump's earlier ceasefire announcement, believing he leaned toward supporting military action against Iran. The development remains unconfirmed by the White House or the Iranian side, and the precise scope of the reported reassurances has not been detailed.
