Iran rejects Trump’s ‘largely negotiated’ deal claim, says Hormuz control will remain with Tehran

Iran has rejected US President Donald Trump’s statement that a major peace agreement between Washington and Tehran has been “largely negotiated.”

The disagreement mainly revolves around the future status of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important oil shipping routes.

Trump had suggested that a proposed deal would lead to the reopening of the Strait and ease tensions in the region.

However, Iranian officials and state-linked media pushed back against the claim, stating that no final agreement has been reached and that the Strait of Hormuz would continue to remain under Iran’s control.

Tehran reportedly said that although discussions may be ongoing, Trump’s comments did not fully reflect the current reality of negotiations.

Reports suggest that a draft proposal being discussed could include a temporary ceasefire extension, easing restrictions on oil exports, and broader negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program and regional stability. Still, several key issues reportedly remain unresolved.

The Strait of Hormuz is strategically important because a large percentage of global oil supplies pass through the waterway.

Any developments related to the region can significantly impact energy markets and international relations.
