The official refuted related reports that Iran may control strait shipping based on a potential agreement. He said that the Strait of Hormuz is an international waterway, and no one party has the right to control the passage of waterways or ships. A White House official said that Trump “holds all the chips” and has reserved the possibility of negotiations with Iran at the request of America's regional allies.
