US, Iran inch closer to deal to end the war: What to know | US-Israel war on Iran News

President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that a deal between the United States, Iran, and several other countries in the region has been largely negotiated, with details to be announced soon. The proposed memorandum of understanding (MoU) reportedly includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz, formally ending the US-Israel war on Iran, and opening a 30-day negotiation window for a broader peace agreement. Iran officials have confirmed negotiations are ongoing but pushed back against some of Trump's claims, emphasizing that major disagreements remain, particularly regarding the status of the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s nuclear program, and conflicts involving Tehran-backed groups in Lebanon. The main sticking points include the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's nuclear program, and potential reparations for the conflict. While some analysts believe a deal is achievable, others highlight the need for Israel to acquiesce to ensure its success.
