United States President Donald Trump has announced that a proposed agreement involving the US and Iran has been “largely negotiated” but remains subject to final approval and remaining negotiations. Trump made the disclosure on Friday through posts on Truth Social and in multiple media interviews, stating that discussions involving Iran, the United States, and several Middle Eastern countries were approaching a breakthrough after months of heightened tensions and conflict in the region. 
According to Trump, one of the key aspects of the proposed deal includes the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most strategically important oil shipping routes. The waterway has remained central to recent tensions between Iran and Western powers due to threats of disruption affecting global oil supply and international trade. Trump said ongoing negotiations also focus heavily on Iran’s nuclear programme, insisting that any final agreement must permanently prevent Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons while ensuring its enriched uranium is properly controlled. 
Reports indicate that Pakistan has played a major mediating role in the negotiations, alongside discussions involving leaders from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates. Trump also confirmed holding separate talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, describing the conversation as positive. Although optimism around the negotiations has increased, officials familiar with the talks cautioned that important details still need to be resolved before any official agreement is signed. 
The latest development follows several weeks of diplomatic efforts aimed at ending tensions linked to Iran’s nuclear ambitions and regional military confrontations. Analysts say a successful agreement could significantly reduce instability in the Middle East, lower pressure on global energy markets, and prevent further military escalation involving the US, Iran, and Israel. However, critics and some Iranian officials have continued expressing skepticism over Trump’s public statements, warning that negotiations remain fragile until formal documents are completed and publicly confirmed by all parties involved.
