Trump Says Deal on Hormuz Strait and Nuclear Disarmament Near

President Trump briefed the media from Air Force One, stating that the United States has secured an agreement to fully reopen the Hormuz Strait and is close to a nuclear‑disarmament pact with Iran. The announcement came after Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar pressed Washington to stop a scheduled strike on Tehran.

The president claimed Iran had also asked for the cancellation of the U.S. attack, positioning the talks as a two‑way negotiation. He said a draft framework for the settlement has already been prepared, which would eliminate the nuclear threat and guarantee unrestricted shipping through the vital waterway.

According to U.S. officials, senior Saudi leaders spoke with Trump on Saturday, expressing alarm over the planned operation and seeking assurances that the attack would not proceed. Pakistan, Qatar, the UAE, Turkey and other regional players have likewise urged Washington and Tehran to de‑escalate.

Trump emphasized that the United States remains fully capable of striking Iran but is willing to pause military action if a rapid, mutually acceptable deal can be concluded. He also noted Israel’s endorsement of the diplomatic route, urging all parties to work diligently to finalize the agreement.
