Trump says ‘largely negotiated’ deal includes Strait of Hormuz reopening
US President Donald Trump has said that a deal to end the war with Iran has been “largely negotiated.”
In a post on his Truth Social platform on Saturday, Trump said the draft agreement includes opening the Strait of Hormuz, which has effectively been closed since the outbreak of the war.
“In addition to many other elements of the Agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will be opened,” Trump said, without specifying what the deal’s “other elements” entailed.
“An Agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the various other Countries,” Trump said in the social media post.
The US president said he had spoken with leaders from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan and Bahrain, as well as Turkey and Pakistan. He added that he had spoken separately with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“Final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly,” Trump said, without providing an exact timeline.
Trump’s optimistic statement came hours after he had told US outlet Axios that the chance of a deal was a “solid 50/50” while threatening to blow Iran “to kingdom come” if the talks fail.
