Strait of Hormuz to Reopen After Muslim Eid Holiday Ends? Check Big Updates on U.S.-Iran Peace Deal
A U.S. official said the plan would remove tolls and ease market pressure while leaving key nuclear terms unresolved.
- On Sunday, a United States official reported that the U.S. and Iran agreed in principle to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and dispose of enriched uranium, pending final approval from President Donald Trump and Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei.
- President Donald Trump claimed in a May 23 social media post that Iran and the United States had "largely negotiated" an agreement "pertaining to PEACE," though officials acknowledge many contested issues remain unsolved.
- Chief among the unresolved issues is the mechanism by which Iran would dispose of its highly enriched uranium; while the United States is willing to begin unfreezing assets, the deal does not currently address missile stockpiles.
- There was no immediate confirmation from Tehran regarding the proposed agreement, and many of Trump's allies are vocally criticizing the deal's contours, potentially complicating final approval.
- Future negotiations will center on the entirety of Iran's uranium stockpile; the United States has previously sought at least a 20-year commitment, though officials now emphasize the enforcement mechanism matters more than the timeline.
