Former Nigerian senator Shehu Sani has shared his view on the ongoing U.S. Iran tensions, arguing that current diplomatic efforts are both narrow in focus and driven by strategic interests.
In a post on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Monday, April 6, 2026, Sani stated that the peace talks between the two countries are not truly about nuclear weapons, as commonly believed, but about restoring access to the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for global oil shipments.
He noted that the negotiations are mainly aimed at reopening and securing the strait, which has become a major point of conflict. According to Sani, broader geopolitical issues, including tensions involving Gulf nations and Israel, are being excluded from the discussions.

Sani also claimed that Donald Trump is using the negotiations as a calculated move to pull the U.S. out of the conflict without appearing to back down.
“The peace talks between the U.S. and Iran are about the Strait, not nuclear weapons; Trump wants to quietly pull out of the war,” Sani wrote.
His remarks reflect a growing view that Washington may be pursuing a limited deal to protect key economic and strategic interests while avoiding deeper involvement in a prolonged regional crisis.
These comments come as global attention remains fixed on the crisis, with the outcome of the talks and their impact on Middle East stability still uncertain.
