President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that negotiations aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict with Iran and reopening the crucial Strait of Hormuz are advancing, but he cautioned his team against hastily finalizing a deal.
His remarks on Truth Social reflect a consistent stance from the previous day, emphasizing that a deal with Iran is 'largely negotiated.' Trump stated that 'time is on our side' in these discussions, which have already impacted global energy markets and driven up gasoline prices in the U.S.
He instructed his representatives to take their time to ensure that the agreement is thorough and without errors. The U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports will remain until a formal agreement is reached and signed. The proposed deal aims to end hostilities, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, unfreeze certain Iranian assets, and initiate further negotiations to limit Iran's nuclear capabilities.
Trump reiterated that Iran must not be allowed to develop or acquire nuclear weapons. This situation is evolving, and further updates are expected
