Trump Signals Iran Deal Is Near as Strait of Hormuz Reopens

Trump said most terms were already negotiated, including Iran’s uranium stockpile and the Strait of Hormuz, as Pakistan mediated the talks.

  • On Friday, President Donald Trump signaled that an Iran nuclear deal is "very" close, claiming most points are already negotiated following talks in Pakistan led by Vice President JD Vance.
  • After an Axios report suggested Washington considered a $20 billion cash-for-uranium exchange, Trump insisted no money would change hands, rejecting the proposal while maintaining negotiations remained on track.
  • Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and army chief Asim Munir received Trump's gratitude, with the president calling Sharif "fantastic" for brokering negotiations. He also thanked Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates for their support.
  • On Thursday, Trump announced a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, stating Israel is now "prohibited" by Washington from bombing its neighbor. He emphasized the Iran deal remains separate from this conflict.
  • Rejecting NATO's offer to help secure the Hormuz Strait, Trump told the alliance to "STAY AWAY," calling them a "Paper Tiger." Iran has agreed never to close the strait again, with U.S. assistance removing sea mines.
