US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Iran is in a “state of collapse” and claimed that Tehran has asked Washington to reopen the Strait of Hormuz “as soon as possible.”

“Iran has just informed us that they are in a ‘State of Collapse’,” Trump wrote on his social media platform TruthSocial, The Caspian Post reports.

“They want us to ‘Open the Hormuz Strait,’ as soon as possible, as they try to figure out their leadership situation (which I believe they will be able to do!).”

He did not provide any details about the alleged communication, and there has been no immediate confirmation from Iranian officials.

Trump’s comments come amid reports that he is dissatisfied with a proposal from Tehran aimed at reopening the strait and moving toward ending the US-Israeli war involving Iran. According to The New York Times, citing anonymous sources, Trump was briefed on the proposal during a meeting in the White House Situation Room on Monday.
