US President Donald Trump has claimed that a major agreement involving Iran and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is “largely negotiated” following discussions with Israel and key regional allies.
The announcement comes amid renewed diplomatic efforts led in part by Shehbaz Sharif, who said Pakistan is ready to facilitate further dialogue between Washington and Tehran and hopes to host a fresh round of US-Iran talks “very soon.”
Iranian officials have also signaled progress in negotiations but stressed that any initial framework would not include nuclear weapons provisions.
Key Developments
- Pakistan says it is prepared to host new US-Iran negotiations in the coming days.
- Trump says discussions include plans to guarantee safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
- Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Turkey is ready to support implementation of any future agreement aimed at easing regional tensions.
- Erdoğan added that securing navigation through Hormuz could help stabilize global markets and reduce economic pressure worldwide.
- In Gaza, a pre-dawn Israeli airstrike reportedly killed three members of a Palestinian family, including a one-year-old child, according to Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah.
- The Israeli military said it had targeted Hamas weapons storage facilities in central Gaza over the previous 24 hours.
The latest diplomatic activity follows a tense week in which Trump warned that time was running out for a lasting ceasefire arrangement with Iran and its regional allies.
