President Donald Trump on Sunday praised Heritage Foundation national security expert Victoria Coates and reiterated his confidence that Iran will not obtain a nuclear weapon and that the Strait of Hormuz will soon reopen to commercial traffic.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump described Coates as "absolutely fantastic" and said she "gets it like few other do."

Trump Reiterates Opposition to an Iranian Nuclear Weapon

"Iran will never have a Nuclear weapon, and the Strait of Hormuz will be opening up for business very shortly!!!" Trump wrote.

The comments come as the Trump administration has expressed optimism about a potential agreement with Iran aimed at reducing regional tensions and preventing Tehran from developing nuclear weapons, although no final deal has been announced.

Strait of Hormuz Remains Critical to Global Energy Markets

The Strait of Hormuz, which connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea, is one of the world's most strategically important shipping routes, carrying a significant share of global seaborne oil exports.

Any return to normal commercial traffic through the waterway would likely ease concerns over global energy supplies and maritime security.

No Further Details on Timing of Reopening

Trump did not provide additional details on the timing or circumstances under which the Strait of Hormuz would "open up for business," nor did he elaborate on the status of negotiations involving Iran.
