An agreement\u00a0with Iran has been \u201clargely negotiated,\u201d President Trump said in a Truth Social post.<\/p>\n

The announcement came hours after it was reported that the two countries were\u00a0nearing\u00a0a truce\u00a0in the 84-day war.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn Agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the various other Countries, as listed,\u201d Trump wrote Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition to many other elements of the Agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will be opened,\u201d Trump added.<\/p>\n

The president had a \u201cvery good call\u201d with officials from Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, he wrote.<\/p>\n

He also said he spoke separately with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, noting the call went \u201cvery well.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cFinal aspects\u201d of the deal are set to be announced shortly, Trump said.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Trump claimed he\u00a0was a\u00a0\u201csolid 50\/50\u201d\u00a0on whether to sign a deal with the Islamic Republic or resume bombing\u00a0the country.<\/p>\n

Gulf leaders, particularly from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, persuaded Trump\u00a0to call off a planned strike on Iran Tuesday\u00a0in order\u00a0to let negotiations play out.<\/p>\n

Mediators from Qatar and Pakistan, including Pakistani Field Marshal Asim Munir, were in Tehran Friday working to solidify an agreement.<\/p>\n

While Trump claimed his calls with regional leaders were positive, some U.S. allies were critical of reports about the emerging deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf a deal is struck to end the Iranian conflict because it is believed that the Strait of Hormuz cannot be protected from Iranian terrorism and Iran still possesses the capability to destroy major Gulf oil infrastructure, then Iran will be perceived as being a dominate force requiring a diplomatic solution,\u201d hawkish Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) posted on X.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis combination of Iran being perceived as having the ability to terrorize the Strait in perpetuity and the\u00a0ability\u00a0to\u00a0inflict massive damage to Gulf oil infrastructure is a major shift of the balance of power in the region,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu and Trump were reportedly at odds on how to proceed in the war, with the Israeli PM said to favor\u00a0a resumption of\u00a0bombing.<\/p>\n

The Israeli PM\u2019s\u00a0\u201chair was on fire\u201d after a heated call with Trump Tuesday, Axios reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n
