President Trump said Saturday that the United States and Iran have largely negotiated a peace deal following coordinated calls with regional leaders.
Trump posted on Truth Social that an agreement has been substantially reached after discussions with leaders from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan and Bahrain. The announcement comes as negotiators work toward finalizing the accord.
What Was Discussed
During the call from the Oval Office, Trump said regional allies addressed “all things related to a Memorandum of Understanding pertaining to PEACE” with Iran. He also separately spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stating the conversation “went very well.”
Trump indicated that opening the Strait of Hormuz would be part of the agreement. He said final details of the deal are currently under discussion and would be announced shortly.
Timeline for Announcement
According to The Washington Times, a draft proposal was agreed to early Saturday and was expected to be announced within 24 hours. Top negotiators including Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalifbaf, Vice President J.D. Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have approved the draft version.
The proposal has been sent to leaders of both nations for final approval. If finalized, the deal would convert a six-week truce into a permanent peace agreement.
Potential Implications
A completed accord would mark a significant shift in U.S.-Iran relations after months of escalating tensions. Trump has indicated that additional military action remains possible if the agreement falls through.
