President Donald Trump said Saturday that the United States and Iran are close to finalizing a major diplomatic agreement that could bring an end to the 84-day conflict that has shaken the Middle East and disrupted global trade routes.
The announcement came after Trump held what he described as a “very good call” with leaders from several key regional allies, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Pakistan, Türkiye, Egypt, Jordan and Bahrain.
In a post published on Truth Social, Trump signaled that months of military pressure and back-channel diplomacy may finally be producing results.
“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,” Trump wrote in the post. “Separately, I had a call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, which, likewise, went very well.”
The president said final details are still under discussion and that additional information will be released soon.
One of the most closely watched parts of the emerging agreement involves the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow but strategically critical shipping route responsible for a major share of the world’s oil transportation. Trump suggested the deal could include provisions tied to reopening or stabilizing maritime access through the strait after weeks of heightened tensions.
The possible breakthrough marks a sharp turn from Trump’s comments earlier in the day. According to Axios, the president said he was a “solid 50/50” on whether negotiations would succeed or whether the United States would resume military operations against Iran.
The shift appeared to follow a conference call with Arab leaders, which reportedly helped build momentum behind the negotiations.
A regional diplomat familiar with the talks told Fox News the discussions were “very positive” and said Middle Eastern governments strongly supported what the diplomat called “the breakthrough President Trump achieved with the talks.”
The developing agreement follows months of escalating conflict between Washington and Tehran. Economic pressure played a major role in the campaign. U.S. Central Command recently confirmed that American operations redirected 100 commercial vessels during a maritime blockade targeting Iranian ports. The effort aimed to weaken Iran’s economy and increase leverage ahead of negotiations.
Global markets and foreign policy analysts are now watching closely for confirmation of the final agreement. A formal deal could reduce tensions across the region, stabilize energy markets and reshape diplomatic relations between the United States and several Middle Eastern nations.
Questions remain over enforcement, security guarantees and how Iran’s regional allies will respond once the agreement is officially announced.
