On the 86th day of the American-Israeli war on Iran on Sunday, May 24, US President Donald Trump said a broad agreement between Washington and Tehran had been “largely negotiated”, adding that final details would be announced shortly following consultations with regional leaders.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the proposed agreement was tied to a “Memorandum of Understanding pertaining to peace” involving the United States, Iran and several Middle Eastern countries.
Trump said he held discussions with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Pakistan Army chief Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Jordan’s King Abdullah II and Bahrain’s King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.
He also said he separately spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, describing the conversation as positive.
According to Trump, negotiations over the remaining aspects of the proposed agreement were continuing and an official announcement would be made soon. He further claimed that the Strait of Hormuz would remain open under the arrangement.
Iranian media, however, said no final agreement had yet been reached and described Trump’s claim as inconsistent with the current state of negotiations.
