据熟悉相关讨论的消息人士向CNN透露，唐纳德·特朗普总统及其政府越来越意识到，他们无法将重新开放霍尔木兹海峡作为宣布对伊战争“任务完成”的先决条件。
在白宫内部，许多高级官员都认识到，重新开放这个由伊朗控制的石油咽喉要道是一项关键目标——这不仅关乎结束战争，也有助于压低飙升的油气价格，而油价快速上涨正迅速成为共和党在11月中期选举前的一大不利因素。
但消息人士透露，在特朗普为结束战争设定的自我 imposed四到六周期限内，政府高级官员私下承认，他们无法既快速实现军事目标，又承诺在同一时间框架内重新开放海峡。官员们以及情报界许多人士估计，要让海峡完全恢复运营，可能需要数周甚至数月时间。全球约20%的石油供应量通常会通过这条水道。
相反，特朗普已公开以及直接向助手和盟友传达了他的观点：其他国家需要承担部分乃至大部分责任。他辩称，由于许多欧洲国家更依赖这条海峡获取石油，它们也有责任协助恢复海峡的通航。
“拿出点勇气，前往海峡，直接‘拿下’它。你们必须开始学会为自己而战，美国不会再帮你们了，就像你们当初没有帮我们一样，”特朗普周二上午在Truth社交平台上写道，矛头直指英国。
数周来，特朗普一直在敦促美国盟友派遣本国海军舰艇前往海峡为油轮护航。他对目前尚无国家同意介入战争局势的情况日益感到沮丧。与此同时，据熟悉相关动向的官员透露，许多外国领导人的集体看法是，特朗普试图在他认定战争结束后，将他制造的问题转嫁到盟友身上。
此前未就美国对伊朗的打击行动征询欧洲领导人意见，他们对在冲突仍在持续时卷入其中持谨慎态度。多个国家已签署声明，承诺最终将参与海峡巡逻，但尚未公布行动开始的时间表。
特朗普辩称，他认为一旦与伊朗的敌对行动结束，重新开放海峡会更容易。他和白宫也驳斥了有关战争可能对油价造成长期影响的担忧，周二美国汽油均价达到每加仑4.02美元，为2022年以来首次。
“当我们撤离、一切结束时，油价就会下跌，”特朗普在周二的电话采访中告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻。
在给CNN的一份声明中，莱维特再次淡化了油价飙升的问题，称其为临时现象：“‘史诗怒火行动’完成后，汽油价格将暴跌回美国民众在这些短期中断前享受的多年低位水平。”
白宫发言人安娜·凯利在给CNN的一份声明中列举了政府为缓解高油价带来的压力所采取的几项行动，包括解除对俄罗斯石油的部分制裁、为海峡内的油轮提供保险，并协调释放4亿桶石油。她表示，政府“已经并将继续为伊朗恐怖政权可能采取的任何行动做好准备”。
“总统相信海峡很快就会开放，我们的军队一直在持续削弱伊朗恐吓商船的能力，”凯利补充道。
据熟悉相关谈判的消息人士透露，特朗普政府内部许多人都认识到重新开放海峡的重要性，并为此仍在与美国盟友密切接触。一位与总统关系密切的人士辩称，特朗普针对欧洲国家的激进公开言论不仅反映了他在这个问题上的真实想法，也是一项不错的公关策略。
“他说这不仅仅是美国的问题，这一点没错。但将其描述为一个共同问题，需要其他国家出手解决，这在政治上很有利，坦率地说，公关效果也很好，”该人士说道。
最近几天，美国高级官员也传递了这一信息。
“霍尔木兹海峡问题，我们已经为成功创造了条件，我们会让伊朗清楚地知道这一点，这不仅仅是美国的问题，”国防部长皮特·赫格斯在周二上午的五角大楼新闻发布会上表示。“特朗普总统一直以来都在牵头。但这不仅仅是我们的事。”
“所以最终，我认为其他国家应该留意，”他补充道。“你们可能要开始学会为自己而战了。”
国务卿马可·卢比奥坚称，美国仍希望组建一个国际联盟来监管海峡，但他承认这是一个更长期的目标。
卢比奥上周五在法国与七国集团（G7）同僚讨论了此事，并表示许多人理解组建该联盟的必要性。
“我们正在努力促成此事，”他说道。

在此次部长级会议后的讲话中，卢比奥声称，尽管在袭击开始前未通知盟友，且特朗普施压要求盟友立即在海峡提供协助，但政府“始终”将组建盟友联盟重新开放海峡视为“冲突后的必要举措”。
这位国务卿还多次表示，美国将仅在这样的联盟中发挥辅助作用。他周五表示，美国“准备参与该计划，不必牵头”。
“但这些国家利害攸关，不仅是七国集团国家，亚洲和世界各地的国家都利害攸关，它们应该为这项努力做出巨大贡献，以确保霍尔木兹海峡，坦率地说，任何国际水道，都永远不会被像当今伊朗这样的民族国家或恐怖主义政府——也就是其激进的神职人员政权——控制或征收通行费，”卢比奥补充道。
与此同时，在美国寻求将重新开放这条关键水道的领导权转交出去之际，中国和巴基斯坦——后者是美国与伊朗之间的关键谈判代表——共同发布了一项旨在“恢复中东和平与稳定”的五点计划。
其中包含了有关霍尔木兹海峡的内容。
“中国和巴基斯坦呼吁各方保护滞留在霍尔木兹海峡的船只和船员的安全，尽早安全放行民用和商业船只，并尽快恢复海峡的正常通航，”两国周二的联合声明中写道。
Trump officials acknowledge they can’t promise to reopen Strait of Hormuz before ending Iran war

President Donald Trump and his administration increasingly believe that they can’t promise to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as a prerequisite to declaring “mission accomplished” in the war with Iran, sources familiar with the discussions tell CNN.
Inside the White House, many top officials recognize that reopening the oil chokepoint controlled by Tehran is a critical goal — not only for ending the war but also for bringing down soaring oil and gas prices, which are quickly shaping up to be a key liability for Republicans ahead of November’s midterm elections.
But as they stare down Trump’s self-imposed four- to six-week deadline for ending the war, top administration officials have privately acknowledged that they can’t both achieve their military objectives quickly and vow to reopen the strait within the same timeline, according to the sources familiar with those talks. The officials and many in the intelligence community have estimated that it could take weeks, if not months, to return the strait to full operational status. About 20% of the world’s oil supply typically flows through the waterway.
Instead, Trump has communicated publicly, as well as to aides and allies directly, that he believes other countries need to shoulder some, if not most, of the burden. He has argued that because many European nations rely more heavily on the strait for its oil, they must also be responsible for helping get it back up and running.
“Build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT. You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Tuesday morning, singling out the United Kingdom.
Trump has been pressing US allies for weeks to send their own naval assets to the strait to escort tankers. He has grown increasingly frustrated that none have so far agreed to step in while the war is still ongoing. Meanwhile, the collective view among many foreign leaders is that Trump is looking to saddle them with a problem of his own making once he decides the war is over, according to officials familiar with the sentiments.
European leaders, who were not consulted about US strikes on Iran beforehand, have been wary of getting involved in the conflict while it is still raging. A number of nations have signed onto statements pledging cooperation in eventually patrolling the strait, but they haven’t laid down timelines for when that might begin.
Trump has argued that he believes the strait will be easier to reopen once the hostilities with Iran end. He and the White House have also dismissed related concerns over the war’s potential long-term impacts on gas prices, which on Tuesday hit a nationwide average of $4.02 a gallon for the first time since 2022.

“They’ll drop when we leave, when it’s over,” Trump told CBS News in a Tuesday phone interview.
In a statement to CNN, Leavitt again downplayed the spiking prices as a temporary issue: “When Operation Epic Fury is complete, gas prices will plummet back to the multi-year lows American drivers enjoyed before these short-term disruptions.”
White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly in a statement to CNN listed several actions the administration has taken to ease the pain of high oil costs, including lifting some sanctions on Russian oil, providing insurance for tankers in the strait and coordinating the release of 400 million barrels of oil. She said the administration “is and was prepared for any potential action taken by the terrorist Iranian regime.”
“The President is confident that the Strait will be opened very soon, and our military continues to steadily degrade Iran’s ability to terrorize merchant ships,” Kelly added.
Many people within the Trump administration recognize that reopening the strait is critical and, to that end, are still engaging closely with US allies, according to sources familiar with the talks. One person close to the president argued that Trump’s aggressive public rhetoric toward European nations not only reflects his true feelings about the issue but also a good public relations strategy.
“He’s right when he says it’s not just a US problem. But it’s also great politics and, frankly, PR to frame this as a shared issue, and one that requires other countries to step up to fix,” they said.
Top US officials have embraced that message in recent days.
“This Strait of Hormuz issue, which we’ve set the conditions for success and we will make sure Iran knows that very clearly, is not just a United States of America problem set,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said during a Pentagon briefing Tuesday morning. “We’ve been willing to lead, President Trump’s led the entire time. But it’s not just us.”
“So, ultimately, I think other countries should pay attention,” he added. “You might want to start learning how to fight for yourself.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has maintained that the US still wants to form an international coalition to police the strait, but acknowledged that it was a longer-term goal.
Rubio discussed the matter with G7 counterparts in France last Friday and said many understood the need for such a group.
“We’re working hard to make that happen,” he said.

In remarks following the ministerial, Rubio claimed the administration had “always” viewed an allied coalition to reopen the strait “as a post-conflict necessity,” despite the lack of notice to allied countries before attacks began and pressure from Trump for immediate assistance in the strait.
The secretary of state has also repeatedly indicated that the US would play only a supporting role in such a coalition, saying on Friday that the US was “prepared to be a part of that plan. We don’t have to lead that plan.”
“But these countries have a lot at stake, not just the G7 countries, but countries in Asia and all over the world have a lot at stake and should contribute greatly to that effort to ensure that neither the Strait of Hormuz or, frankly, any international waterways should ever be something that’s controlled or tolled by a nation-state or by a terroristic government like the one that exists in Iran today, and that’s their radical clerical regime,” Rubio added.
Meanwhile, as the US seeks to potentially cede leadership on the reopening of the critical waterway, China and Pakistan — the latter of which is serving as a key negotiator between the US and Iran — have come out with their own five-point plan for “restoring peace and stability” in the Middle East.
It includes a point on the strait.
“China and Pakistan call on the parties to protect the security of ships and crew members stranded in the Strait of Hormuz, allow the early and safe passage of civilian and commercial ships, and restore normal passage through the Strait as soon as possible,” their joint statement Tuesday said.
