Trump says Iran peace deal could be reached ‘soon’ after Tehran reopens Hormuz Strait
US President Donald Trump suggested a peace deal with Iran could be reached 'soon' after Iran reopened the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping. However, Iranian officials stated that serious differences between the two sides still need to be overcome.
Iran reopened the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping following a ceasefire agreement in Lebanon. US President Donald Trump claimed a peace deal could be reached 'soon', but Iranian officials said serious differences remained. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical waterway, but military vessels remain banned. Trump's statement came after Iran announced the reopening, but it was unclear how quickly shipping could resume. Iran's Foreign Ministry warned of 'necessary reciprocal measures' if a US maritime blockade continued. The two sides also disagreed on Iran's nuclear programme, a key sticking point in talks.
