The IRGC controls the Strait. Trump is negotiating from a position of weakness as all of the destruction and death is meaningless to the IRGC. It can all be rebuilt and martyrdom is the highest goal achievable in life. Access to the Strait is vital to Trump no matter how many times he says that it isn't. Someone who doesn't care doesn't try to strongarm longtime allies into opening the Strait by force by threatening to blow up NATO or to end the Iranian civilization if Iran doesn't comply.
Trump has shown his hand and it's nothing special.
