Trump eyes exit from Iran war without nuclear deal, WSJ reports

TL;DR Summary
The Wall Street Journal reports that Trump privately floated ending the Iran conflict and declaring victory without a nuclear deal, arguing that if Iran’s nuclear program stays constrained and the Strait of Hormuz reopens to shipping, the US could extend the ceasefire indefinitely while keeping military options on the table; Iran says the Strait will not reopen until the US 'corrects its behavior' and has outlined six demands, with analysts noting Tehran believes Trump wants out, complicating any face-saving off-ramp.
