Trump dit vouloir mettre fin à la guerre contre l’Iran sans rouvrir Ormuz

President Donald Trump told advisers he is prepared to end the war with Iran even if the Détroit d’Ormuz remains largely closed, the Wall Street Journal reported on March 31, citing administration officials, marking a potential shift in American war aims one month into the conflict. Trump and his advisers concluded in recent days that a military operation to reopen the strait would extend the conflict beyond the four-to-six week timeline originally assumed for the campaign. The president decided the United States should instead focus on achieving its core objectives — destroying Iran's naval fleet and missile assets — and then wind down active hostilities, relying on diplomatic pressure to restore free navigation. If diplomacy fails, Washington plans to press allies in Europe and the Persian Gulf to take the initiative on unblocking the waterway. Military options remain on the table, according to sources cited by the Wall Street Journal, but are not currently a priority. The decision would effectively mean one condition from the American 15-point peace plan — guaranteed free passage through the strait — would go unmet in any near-term settlement.

Trump menace les centrales iraniennes tout en laissant entrevoir des discussions On Monday, Trump posted a stark threat on his Truth Social platform, warning that if a quick agreement with Iran is not reached and the Strait of Hormuz is not immediately opened, the United States would destroy all Iranian power plants, oil wells, and Kharg Island — and possibly all desalination plants as well. „Les États-Unis d’Amérique mènent des discussions sérieuses avec le NOUVEAU RÉGIME, BIEN PLUS RAISONNABLE (à Téhéran), au sujet de la fin de nos actions militaires en Iran” — Donald Trump via Polska Agencja Prasowa Trump added that any such destruction would be retaliation for American soldiers and civilians killed by Iran over 47 years of the current regime's rule. He had announced the previous week that he would suspend attacks on Iranian power plants until April 6. In an interview with the New York Post, Trump confirmed that Washington is in talks with Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, describing him as the chief negotiator on Iran's side. Trump said within approximately one week it would become clear whether Ghalibaf is willing to cooperate with the United States. When asked about the new Iranian leadership, Trump said: „Il y a eu un changement complet de régime, parce que le régime précédent n’existe plus et que nous avons affaire à un groupe de personnes complètement nouveau. Et jusqu’à présent, ils se sont montrés bien plus raisonnables” — Donald Trump via wnp.pl Trump also said the United States believes Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is probably alive but in an extremely bad condition.

Rubio évoque des fissures dans le régime tandis que Ghalibaf prend de l’importance Secrétaire d’État Marco Rubio said on ABC News that changes are taking place in the highest decision-making circles of the Iranian regime, describing what he called internal fractures. „Il y a des fissures internes là-bas et, au bout du compte, je pense que si des personnes en Iran veulent maintenant faire prendre à leur pays une direction différente, ce serait une très bonne chose” — Marco Rubio via Polska Agencja Prasowa Rubio declined to name the Iranian officials Washington is negotiating with, citing security concerns for those individuals. He also said the United States is preparing contingency plans in case the new figures at the helm in Tehran do not share a more constructive vision. Ghalibaf and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi are among the small group of senior Iranian officials who survived the nearly month-long campaign of Israeli-American airstrikes. According to reporting cited by wnp.pl, those killed since February 28 include former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Defense Minister Amir Nasirzadeh, Revolutionary Guard commander Mohammad Pakpur, and national security council secretary Ali Larijani. Reuters reported last week that Israel removed Araghchi and Ghalibaf from its target list after Pakistan, acting as mediator, requested their protection.

La campagne militaire américano-israélienne contre l’Iran, connue sous le nom d’Operation Epic Fury, a commencé le 28 février 2026 avec des frappes aériennes qui ont tué le guide suprême Ali Khamenei. L’Iran a riposté par des attaques contre Israël, des bases militaires américaines et des infrastructures civiles dans plusieurs États du Golfe persique, dont des aéroports et des installations énergétiques. L’Iran a ensuite bloqué le détroit d’Ormuz, par lequel transite normalement environ un cinquième du pétrole brut mondial. Mojtaba Khamenei, fils d’Ali Khamenei, a été nommé guide suprême le 9 mars 2026. Avant le début de la guerre, le Brent se négociait à environ 72 dollars le baril, selon Polska Agencja Prasowa.

Un pétrolier touché près de Dubaï alors que le baril dépasse 115 dollars An unidentified missile struck a tanker approximately 60 kilometers northwest of Dubai on March 30, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations organization reported. The tanker's security officer said the missile hit the starboard side, causing a fire, though the entire crew was reported safe. The strike added to market anxiety already elevated by the broader conflict. Brent crude oil rose to 115.84 dollars per barrel on Monday morning, compared to approximately 72 dollars before the war began on February 28, according to Polska Agencja Prasowa. 116 (USD par baril) — Prix du Brent après la menace de Trump sur Kharg Island Jim Reid, director of global macroeconomic research at Deutsche Bank, was cited by CNN as saying investors remain concerned about further escalation. Japan's Nikkei 225 index fell nearly 5 percent on Monday, and South Korea's KOSPI dropped more than 4 percent. Finance ministers, energy ministers, and central bank heads of the G7 met in a remote format and pledged to take all necessary steps to ensure energy market stability. Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called on Saudi Arabia via the X platform to expel American troops from the country, arguing that Iran's military operations target hostile aggressors rather than Arab nations, and accusing the United States of using the region's population as human shields.
