<\/a><\/a>The US president announced on his Truth Social platform on Saturday that a deal with Tehran to end the Iran war was “largely negotiated” subject to approval, ending speculation over the possible resumption of strikes against Iran and broader conflict in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US President Donald Trump announced Saturday that a draft framework for an agreement with Iran, which would include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, has been \u201clargely negotiated\u201d and is \u201csubject to finalisation\u201d.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that the final aspects and details of the deal are being discussed and will be announced \u201cshortly\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition to many other elements of the agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will be opened,\u201d the US president announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump said he had a \u201cvery good call\u201d with leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan and Bahrain, in another sign of the prevailing influence of Gulf countries and other regional actors in convincing Trump to both stop further strikes and end the war altogether, as well as a separate call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which \u201cwent very well\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier on Saturday, the Associated Press quoted a regional official with direct knowledge of the Pakistan-led mediation efforts saying the US and Iran were closing in on a deal which would include an official declaration of the war\u2019s end, with two-month negotiations on Iran\u2019s nuclear program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Strait of Hormuz would be reopened and the US would end its blockade of Iran\u2019s ports, the official told AP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before Trump\u2019s announcement, Iran signalled \u201cnarrowing differences\u201d in the negotiations as positions moved closer in recent days, especially after Pakistan\u2019s army chief held more talks in Tehran on Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iran state-run TV quoted Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei as describing the draft as a \u201cframework agreement\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want this to include the main issues required for ending the imposed war and other issues of essential importance to us. Then, over a reasonable time span, between 30 to 60 days, details are discussed and ultimately a final agreement is reached,” Iran\u2019s official IRNA news agency quoted Baghaei as saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Baghaei, \u201cover the past week, the trend has been toward narrowing differences.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said nuclear issues are not part of the current negotiations, as Tehran first seeks to end the war before discussing its nuclear programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur focus at this stage is on ending the war on all fronts, including Lebanon,\u201d Baghaei said, adding that lifting sanctions on Tehran \u201chas explicitly been included in the text and remains our fixed position.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump earlier said he was holding off on a military strike against Iran because \u201cserious negotiations\u201d were underway, and at the request of allies in the Middle East. Trump has repeatedly set deadlines for Tehran and then backed off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The war started on 28 February with US and Israeli strikes on Iran, cutting short nuclear talks with Tehran. Tehran retaliated by effectively closing the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway for the region\u2019s oil, natural gas and fertiliser, causing global economic pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US then blockaded Iranian ports. The US Central Command on Saturday said US forces had turned away more than 100 commercial vessels and disabled four since the blockade began on 13 April.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
