Iran war live: World awaits Trump decision on ceasefire deal to open Hormuz

President Donald Trump will meet with his Cabinet on Wednesday after Iran’s Mizan news agency reported the framework of a deal is in place.

As he prepares to talk with his top aides, Trump has been projecting confidence that he’s closing in on a deal that will reopen the Strait of Hormuz and provide him a credible argument that Iran’s nuclear capability has been diminished enough to declare victory, winding down a conflict that’s been politically unpopular for Republicans.

Details over a nuclear agreement though remain unclear.

“United States has committed to withdrawing its military forces from Iran’s surrounding environment, whether this includes forces deployed to the region or forces stationed at bases requires negotiation,” said the Mizan news agency.

“If a final agreement is reached within a 60-day period, this agreement will be approved in the form of a binding UN Security Council resolution.”

Iran is understood to be ready to allow commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz but will do nothing until it sees “tangible verification” that the US is following the agreement.
