Donald Trump announced that a potential peace agreement with Iran is on the horizon, stating on Sunday aboard Air Force One that Iran will soon be devoid of nuclear capabilities. The 47th President of the United States mentioned that discussions between the two nations would resume the following day, indicating that a deal concerning the Strait of Hormuz and nuclear matters is imminent. Trump hinted at this development after revealing that he had been urged by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Iran to call off a planned significant military strike.
Trump explained that the allies’ request to halt the attack was prompted by the possibility of a forthcoming deal, focusing on agreements related to the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s nuclear program. This news follows Trump’s recent social media post on Truth Social, where he commended himself for refraining from further military actions against Iran.
Meanwhile, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman expressed concerns to Trump about potential escalation with Iran during a recent phone call. The Saudi leadership is apprehensive that US actions targeting Iran’s energy infrastructure could provoke retaliatory strikes on Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries. The Crown Prince sought clarification from Trump on any proposed actions against Iran, as confirmed by a White House official who disclosed the conversation but did not provide specific details.
