Trump Declares Iran Peace Deal 'Largely Negotiated'
Trump disclosed that he held what he called a "very good call" from the Oval Office with leaders and senior officials from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Pakistan, Türkiye, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain, centered on Iran and "all things related to a Memorandum of Understanding pertaining to PEACE."
"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 wrote on Truth Social.
He added that he had separately spoken with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, noting that the call "likewise, went very well."
Trump indicated that the "final aspects and details" of the agreement remained under discussion and would be announced imminently, while asserting that the Strait of Hormuz "will be opened" as part of the deal's terms.
Iranian state media moved swiftly to contest that characterization. Fars news agency reported that the strategic waterway would remain "under Iran's management," with Tehran retaining authority over routes, timing, passage procedures, and permits. While Iran had reportedly agreed to restore shipping traffic to pre-war levels, Fars stressed this fell short of "free passage" — dismissing Trump's framing as "incomplete" and "far from reality."
The dispute over Hormuz underscores the fragility of the emerging accord. Iran restricted transit through the waterway during the conflict, while Washington enforced a naval blockade on Iranian ports — collectively rattling global energy markets and supply chains for months.
The war itself began in late February, triggered by American and Israeli strikes on Iran. A fragile ceasefire took hold in early April, with both sides largely avoiding direct confrontation since. Trump had in recent days issued pointed warnings that the US stood ready to resume strikes should Tehran refuse to accept a deal.
Iran has maintained throughout the negotiations that discussions remain focused on ending hostilities and that "details related to the nuclear issue are not being discussed at this stage." Tehran has also insisted that any final agreement must uphold its sovereign rights and bring an end to what it characterizes as US "piracy" targeting Iranian vessels.
