Trump spoke to CNBC. Per key points from the article:
"President Donald Trump told CNBC “I don’t care” if peace negotiations with Iran are over.
Trump told CNBC he was “going to ask” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “what’s going on with Lebanon.”
Trump said he wasn’t worried about oil prices, which spiked following a report that Iran will “completely block” the Strait of Hormuz in addition to halting negotiations with the U.S.”
"President Donald Trump told CNBC “I don’t care” if peace negotiations with Iran are over."

Because the news is called propaganda. Nothing gov'ts say to stupid reporters during a war is geared towards the citizens. It is put out for the enemy to hear.

Pretty clear that Trump was hoping to end the conflict without having to drop any more bombs. Now that that’s no longer an option, he’s stuck. Seems like he’s going to try to wait it out and hurt Iran economically, but they don’t seem to care. What happened to their oil wells being no longer useable? It’s been an awfully long time and they don’t seem to be panicking the way they were expected to. He needs to come to the realization that the only way to put an end to this is to use all the deadly force - “the likes that no one has ever seen before” that he says would occur. Otherwise the TACO moniker rings true.

They are filling every rusted out tanker they can get their hands on and then dumping directly into the Persian Gulf when they can. They are also supplying oil via land routes to Pakistan and other countries that still do business with them on the black market in order to keep the wells going.

I don't think he wants to do that.
The World Cup begins here in 10 days, followed by the 250th Independence Day celebration is little more than a month.
My guess is he is willing to maintain the status quo until all that is over.

Wrong. A former client was a partner and described how a number of people came into their offices and started using their computers to direct the uprising. An uncle had been beaten to a pulp by the king's henchmen. It was payback time. They had zero connection with the USA

He had a call with Hezbollah and they agreed to stop shooting.

“If they’re over, they’re over. If they’re not, you know, I think they took too much time. Frankly, I thought they started to get very boring,” Trump told CNBC.

If the SOH is still blocked in July get ready for a real spike in oil prices because world inventories will be dangerously low.

Taking that island at the top of the Straight and the coastline would secure the shipping lanes and cause the IRGC to attempt to take it back. The IRGC would expose themselves rather than sit in their hiding places.

And once they expose themselves the citizens can deploy the drones we have given them to take out the IRGC. 
Posted on 6/1/26 at 12:55 pm to Auburn1968
If by sending missiles and drones are "exposing themselves" then you are correct.

This is just another one of Trump’s 20 personalities to fit another narrative that he created.
No matter what happens, Trump will frame it as us being fine with it because anything else would give Iran complete control over negotiations.
It is the same reason Iran will never let on that our blockade is hurting them.
That's just common sense.

There is no semblance of a plan to any of this. Apparently all it takes is for Trump to call Hezbollah to stop fighting (and to take them at their word they'll show restraint with Israel). There doesn't appear to be any broader strategic view here. It's all very day to day with behavior seemingly influenced by the news cycle. We all assume there's a bigger plan with these types of situations but it really doesn't appear that way.
