🚨 LATEST: Iran Rejects Trump’s “Imminent Deal” Narrative

U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that a new U.S.-Iran agreement has been “largely negotiated” and could be announced soon, including a return of Strait of Hormuz shipping to pre-war levels.

However, Iran’s Fars News Agency, which is affiliated with the IRGC, strongly pushed back on those claims. According to Iranian sources, U.S. officials privately described Trump’s remarks as mainly “promotional” and intended for domestic media consumption in the United States.

Tehran reiterated that the Strait of Hormuz will remain under Iranian control and management, rejecting suggestions of unrestricted international passage without broader political and economic concessions.

The sharp contrast in messaging highlights the deep divide that still exists despite ongoing indirect negotiations reportedly facilitated in part by Pakistan.

Iran has reportedly shown openness to limited increases in maritime traffic, but not a complete restoration of previous shipping conditions unless wider demands are addressed.

The dispute continues to add pressure to global oil markets and broader risk assets as investors closely monitor developments.
