Trump Says Iran Deal, Strait of Hormuz Reopening ‘Largely Negotiated’

US President Donald Trump has announced that a proposed agreement between the United States and Iran has been “largely negotiated,” raising hopes of easing tensions in the Middle East and reopening the vital Strait of Hormuz.

Trump disclosed the development after a series of discussions with regional leaders, including officials from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan and Bahrain, as well as a separate phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. According to Trump, final details of the agreement are still being worked out and could be announced soon.

A major part of the proposed deal involves reopening the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical oil shipping routes. The waterway handles a significant portion of global oil and gas exports, and disruptions there have pushed energy prices higher in recent months.

Reports indicate that negotiations are being supported by Pakistani mediators, with diplomats describing the talks as making “significant progress.” The framework under discussion is expected to include a ceasefire arrangement, restoration of shipping access through the strait, and broader negotiations concerning Iran’s nuclear activities.

However, uncertainty remains over the exact terms of the agreement. Iranian media outlets have pushed back against Trump’s claim that the Strait of Hormuz would be fully reopened under international terms, insisting Iran would still maintain authority over the strategic waterway.

The potential deal has also sparked debate in Washington, with some Republican lawmakers warning against concessions to Tehran. Critics argue that easing pressure on Iran without stricter guarantees could weaken US leverage in the region.

Global markets and international observers are closely monitoring the negotiations, as any breakthrough could reduce tensions in the Gulf region and stabilize global energy supplies after months of conflict and shipping disruptions.
