Rubio Hints At US-Iran News “Later Today” As Talks To Reopen Hormuz Gain Steam<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Top U.S. and Iranian officials signaled they are inching closer to an initial peace deal to wind down the U.S.-Iran conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, though major details remain murky, especially around the future of Iran’s nuclear program.<\/p>\n

President Trump said the peace deal has been “largely negotiated” and will be announced “shortly,” with the reopening of the Hormuz chokepoint among its key components.<\/p>\n

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said earlier that “significant progress<\/strong>” has been made, but no final deal has been reached.<\/p>\n

Rubio added that the world could learn “over the next few hours<\/strong>” about progress on resolving the shipping disruption at the Hormuz chokepoint.<\/p>\n

The proposed deal aims to reopen Hormuz, end or pause fighting across multiple fronts, and restart tanker flows through the strait, as the world is dangerously close to an energy cliff. If disrupted for another month, this could spark even more severe economic trouble for the global economy.<\/p>\n

Iranian officials said the deal would also lift the U.S. naval blockade, halt fighting involving Israel and Hezbollah, reopen Hormuz without tolls, and release $25 billion in frozen Iranian assets.<\/p>\n

The biggest unresolved issue is Iran’s nuclear program. U.S. officials said the framework includes a commitment by Tehran to give up enriched uranium, though the mechanism for that commitment would be negotiated later.<\/p>\n

However, Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency dismissed Trump’s claim of an imminent deal as “far from reality.”<\/p>\n

Fars reported that, under the latest text exchanged, management of Hormuz would “remain exclusively under the authority and discretion of the Islamic Republic of Iran” if a deal is reached.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Fars reported that Iran’s nuclear program, blocked funds, and the status of Hormuz remained “serious points of disagreement” in talks with the U.S.<\/p>\n

Iran had indicated that a final draft of the deal was under review.<\/p>\n

Iranian state television cited Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei as saying, “Over the past week, the process has been moving toward a convergence of views.”<\/p>\n
