President Trump said Iran and the United States had “largely negotiated” an agreement “pertaining to PEACE.” Three senior Iranian officials said Tehran had agreed to a memorandum of understanding, but there was no public statement from Iran’s government.
Here’s the latest.
President Trump said on Saturday that the United States was close to reaching an agreement with Iran toward ending the war and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
Mr. Trump provided few details about the preliminary agreement, which he said was “largely negotiated.” It is unclear whether the latest negotiations will succeed in extending the current cease-fire and reach a more permanent peace, or break down over the sticking points that have kept the war unresolved for months.
Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman, Esmaeil Baqaei, offered what appeared to be an indirect response on X to President Trump’s annoucement that the two sides were close to a peace deal. The post referred to a third-century war between the Roman empire and Persia, in which the Roman emperor “had to come to terms” with the Persians. The post appeared to be the only public statement from a senior Iranian official since Trump’s announcement, and it did not mention Trump, a deal, or, Iran’s nuclear program by name.
Leaders from Arab and Muslim-majority countries told President Trump by phone on Saturday that they support the latest proposal to end the Iran war and urged him to accept it, according to three Middle Eastern officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive details.
The call included top officials from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, and other countries.
The terms of the latest proposal still have not been announced officially, but Trump said they included the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway that previously was used to transport a large share of the global oil and gas supply.

In Iran, May 23 has been celebrated since 1982 as the anniversary of the day that Iran’s army liberated the city of Khoramhshahr from Iraqi forces in the Iran-Iraq war, a turning point in the bloody conflict. For many Iranians, especially supporters of the government, the fact that an agreement with the U.S. to end the war appeared to be close to being finalized was portentious “Everyone was saying there was no way Iran could reach an agreement with the United States, but we did it,” said Hamid Hosseini, a member of Iran’s Chamber of Commerce, from Tehran. “It’s a victory.”
