TRENDING — Trump announces largely negotiated Iran deal to reopen Strait of Hormuz
U.S. President Donald Trump announces a peace deal with Iran is "largely negotiated," with the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz at its core, though Tehran’s leadership has yet to approve the final terms.
Trump confirmed on Saturday that a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to end the three-month U.S.-Israel war on Iran has been "largely negotiated," with the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz—a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments—central to the agreement. The deal, brokered through Pakistani mediators and consultations with Gulf allies and Israel, would also include a 60-day truce and revived talks on limiting Iran’s nuclear program, according to officials familiar with the draft .
However, Iranian officials told Pakistani intermediaries on Sunday that one or two clauses remain unresolved before the MoU can be submitted to the Supreme National Security Council and Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei for ratification. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the progress as "significant" but cautioned that the deal is not yet final, with details expected to be announced "in the next few hours" .
Iranian state media tempered expectations, with Fars News Agency reporting that the Strait of Hormuz would remain under Iranian control despite its reopening to commercial traffic. Shipping levels through the waterway could return to pre-war levels within weeks if the deal is implemented, according to Iranian sources .
The war, which began in February after a series of escalatory strikes between U.S.-backed Israel and Iran, has disrupted nearly 30% of global oil flows, sending energy markets into turmoil. The proposed 60-day truce would provide a window for broader negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program and regional security guarantees, though mistrust persists on both sides. Trump’s announcement follows a flurry of diplomatic activity, including calls with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who has offered to host further talks .
If approved, the deal would mark the first major de-escalation in the conflict, though analysts warn that enforcement mechanisms and verification measures remain key sticking points. The Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly 21 million barrels of oil pass daily, has been a flashpoint since Iran began restricting traffic in retaliation for U.S. sanctions and Israeli strikes on its nuclear facilities.
