Donald Trump said on June 11 that the United States and Iran are prepared to sign a peace agreement to resolve their conflict, declaring that Iran's supreme leader has given his blessing to the arrangement.
Speaking to reporters, Trump outlined what he characterized as the key benefits of the proposed deal. The agreement would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping passage, while simultaneously preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons, he said.
Trump's assertion came as a significant claim about the direction of U.S.-Iran relations. The two countries have been at odds over Iran's nuclear ambitions and regional activities for years, with tensions escalating in recent periods.
The president's statement suggested momentum toward a diplomatic resolution, though he did not provide detailed specifics about the accord's terms or timeline for signing.
Author James Rodriguez: "Trump's claim about Iranian approval and a ready-to-sign deal needs hard verification before anyone treats this as done."
