Trump: Deal with Iran ‘largely negotiated,’ Hormuz to be opened, call with Netanyahu ‘went very well’

TOI

US President Donald Trump says an agreement with Iran “has been largely negotiated,” and adds that a call he had tonight with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the deal went well.

He likewise says a call with Middle Eastern leaders — not including Netanyahu — regarding the deal went well, and says the deal would include the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, the key pathway for the global oil supply that Tehran has largely blocked since the beginning of the war some three months ago.

“I am in the Oval Office at the White House where we just had a very good call” with the leaders of countries across the region, Trump posts on Truth Social, “and all things related to a Memorandum of Understanding pertaining to PEACE.”

He adds, “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, as listed.”

There is reportedly significant concern in Israel over the terms of the deal, and Netanyahu gathered coalition leaders and security chiefs tonight to discuss it.

Trump says his call with Netanyahu was positive.

“Separately, I had a call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, which, likewise, went very well,” he writes. “Final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly. In addition to many other elements of the Agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will be opened.”
