President Donald Trump stated that a U.S.-Iran agreement has been “largely negotiated” and would be announced shortly, including reopening the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels of shipping.
Iran’s Fars News Agency (IRGC-affiliated) quickly pushed back, citing sources who say U.S. officials privately acknowledged that Trump’s statements are mainly for “promotional purposes and media consumption” inside the United States. Tehran insists the Strait of Hormuz will remain under Iranian control and management, rejecting any notion of unrestricted free passage.
The conflicting messages highlight deep differences despite ongoing indirect talks mediated in part by Pakistan. Iran has signaled willingness for limited increases in ship traffic but not a full return to prior status without broader concessions.
This back-and-forth continues to fuel volatility in oil markets and risk assets.Track official updates from the White House, Iranian state media (Fars/IRIB), and credible diplomatic channels.
