“President Trump declared Wednesday night that other countries should ‘take the lead’ on the Strait of Hormuz in yet another signal that the US may aim to depart Iran with that economically vital issue unresolved. The latest message on the crucial waterway came during Trump’s address to the nation from the White House that was billed as ‘an important update on Iran.’ … Trump didn’t offer more details about a possible ceasefire in Wednesday night’s address.
