Trump Says Iran Deal “Largely Negotiated” as Peace Talks Advance
US President Donald Trump has said that an agreement with Iran has been “largely negotiated” and that full details will be announced soon.
He stated that the deal would include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, although he did not provide further specifics.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said Iran and US positions had been moving closer over the past week, but warned that this did not guarantee agreement on key issues, accusing the US of issuing “contradictory statements.”
Trump also said on social media that he held a “very good call” with leaders of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and other countries regarding a “Memorandum of Understanding pertaining to PEACE.”
He added that an agreement had been “largely negotiated” between the United States, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and other involved countries, with final details still being discussed.
He further confirmed a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which he described as going “very well.”
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also welcomed the developments, praising Trump’s efforts toward peace and describing their discussions as “very useful and productive.” Pakistan has reportedly played a mediating role in the talks.
According to Iranian officials, discussions are focused on a framework-based “memorandum of understanding” containing 14 key points, with the possibility of further talks within 30 to 60 days leading to a final agreement.
Meanwhile, tensions remain high in the region, with ongoing disputes over control and access to the Strait of Hormuz. The US and its Gulf allies have rejected Iran’s attempts to assert authority over maritime transit rules in the area.
