Did Iran ask to reopen the Strait of Hormuz? Trump says Tehran is "on the verge of collapse"

U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran's government is in a "state of collapse" and has asked for the Strait of Hormuz to be reopened immediately. The remarks point to a diplomatic shift as Tehran reportedly tries to contain a leadership crisis while the blockade continues to squeeze flows through a route that carries about 20% of the world's oil supply. Trump said reopening the strait is a priority as Iran's administration moves to reorganize its domestic governance structure. Based on past patterns, Iran is expected to issue a statement soon.
