Trump says 'final details' of Iran peace deal being negotiated, includes reopening Hormuz

President Donald Trump announced that a peace deal with Iran is nearing completion, with final details being negotiated. He stated on his Truth Social platform that the agreement, which is expected to be announced soon, will include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. This development follows productive calls Trump had with leaders from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain, as well as Pakistan's chief of army staff, Asim Munir, who is mediating with Iran.

Currently, the final aspects and details of the agreement are being discussed, which will be announced soon. In addition to many other elements of the agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will be opened.

Trump described the discussions as a "memorandum of understanding on peace with Iran," which is pending finalization. He also reported a positive phone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The announcement comes amid reports of significant progress in peace negotiations from Iran's Foreign Ministry, U.S. Secretary of State, and Pakistani mediators.

Earlier, Trump had canceled plans to visit his New Jersey golf course, returning to Washington to oversee the negotiations. He met with his security cabinet, including U.S. mediators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, at the White House. The U.S. and Iran have been exchanging proposals through Pakistan, but Trump had expressed frustration over Iran's continued uranium enrichment and had threatened military action. Iran's desire to impose tolls on traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for global crude oil trade, remains a point of contention.
