It appears as though the U.S. and Iran have a peace deal, according to a report on Saturday. That’s exceptionally good news for an anxious nation still grappling with the high cost of living.
Not long ago, President Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that a deal has largely been reached. It comes following what sounds like a productive phone call with Middle East allies:
I am in the Oval Office at the White House where we just had a very good call with President Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, of The United Arab Emirates, Emir Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, and Minister Ali al-Thawadi, of Qatar, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir Ahmed Shah, of Pakistan, President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an, of Türkiye, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, of Egypt, King Abdullah II, of Jordan, and King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, of Bahrain, concerning the Islamic Republic of Iran, and all things related to a Memorandum of Understanding pertaining to PEACE.
An Agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the various other Countries, as listed.
Separately, I had a call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, which, likewise, went very well. Final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly.
In addition to many other elements of the Agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will be opened.
Separately, the Washington Times reported exclusively:
The U.S. and Iran are expected to announce the finalization of a draft proposal of a peace deal to end the fighting on all fronts by Sunday afternoon, a source close to the negotiations told The Washington Times.
A draft proposal was agreed to early Saturday and expected to be announced within 24 hours, the source said.
Top negotiators, including Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalifbaf, Vice President J.D. Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, have approved the draft.
The draft version of the peace deal has been sent to leaders of both nations for final approval.
If successful, the deal would transform what has been a fragile six-week truce into a permanent peace, even as Mr. Trump has hinted fresh strikes would be possible.
If the deal goes through fully, that is exceptional news. Americans have been anxiously waiting for a deal as gas prices have soared again.
