Trump announces deal with Iran to end war, open Strait of Hormuz; nuclear issue to be addressed later
U.S. President Donald Trump announced that a deal with Iran is scheduled to be signed on Sunday, aiming to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz to all shipping. He also stated that the U.S. would "go and get" Iran's highly enriched uranium at a later stage, confirming Iran's claim that the nuclear issue would not be part of the preliminary agreement. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi claimed frozen assets would be released, though Trump denied funds would be provided. Tensions remain high, with recent U.S. claims of Iran firing drones at commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
