Trump says, 'We win regardless': US-Iran talks intensify over strait of Hormuz crisis - Al Jazeera English



U.S. President Donald Trump has made bold statements about ongoing negotiations with Iran, declaring that the United States has already “won” regardless of whether a deal is reached.

Meanwhile, high-stakes talks in Islamabad continue into the night, with major disagreements still unresolved—especially over control of the Strait of Hormuz, nuclear policy, and regional influence.

These negotiations come after weeks of conflict, with global energy markets shaken and tensions rising across the Middle East. - 04/11/2026.
