"Brouillette stated, 'If it is truly accurate, if the Wall Street Journal story is accurate, then I think it's highly problematic that we would leave that area without opening this strait.' He emphasized that allowing Iran to maintain control would be detrimental, saying, 'I mean, you think about this logically: if that were to happen, Iran gets exactly what it wants.'"
"Trump responded, 'Well, I think it'll automatically open, but my attitude is, I've obliterated the country. They have no strength left.' He added, 'My sole function was to make sure that they don't have a nuclear weapon. They're not going to have a nuclear weapon.'"
Dan Brouillette expressed skepticism about Trump's ability to end the war in Iran without reopening the Strait of Hormuz. He believes that leaving the area without opening the strait would benefit Iran, allowing it to maintain control and appear victorious. Brouillette criticized this potential strategy as a poor decision that would defer the issue to future administrations. Trump, however, stated that he believes the strait will automatically open and emphasized his focus on preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, downplaying concerns about the strait's status.
