According to a statement from U.S. President Donald J. Trump, following a call with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain, an agreement, surrounding the current memorandum of understanding on the table, “has been largely negotiated.” Per the statement from President Trump, the final points of the deal are now being discussed and “the Strait of Hormuz will be opened.” Trump also spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to fill him in on recent developments. Further announcements regarding the deal are forthcoming, per the president.

"Open” as it was before? Or open to those who pay the toll?

And what about the uranium? And Ira? No mention of Iran here.

Even some Fox hosts seem reluctant to spin a potential Iran deal as a win

Brutal statement from Iran’s state-aligned Fars News: “It should be noted that American officials have acknowledged in multiple messages to Iran that Trump's tweets are primarily for promotional purposes and media consumption within the United States, and they have recommended that no attention be paid to these statements.”

🚨 TRUMP SURRENDER?!

Trump just claimed the Strait of Hormuz “will be opened” under a new deal with Iran. But Iran’s state-run Fars News says Tehran would still control passage routes, permits, timing, and access through the strait.

Trump just claimed the Strait of Hormuz “will be opened” under a new deal with Iran. But Iran’s state-run Fars News says Tehran would still control passage routes, permits, timing, and access through the strait.

And now even figures close to Trump are sounding the alarm, warning that if these reports are true, the “deal” amounts to total capitulation and surrender — handing Iran sanctions relief and long-term leverage over one of the world’s most critical shipping lanes after months of war.

Nothing was accomplished by Operation Epic Fury except putting the IRGC in charge of Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. https://t.co/dgZbZDMGKE
