“Largely negotiated.”
That’s the comment from President Donald Trump regarding the possibility of a peace deal with Iran, a move that could bring to an end the rogue Islamic regime’s agenda to obtain nuclear weapons and destroy Israel.
On social media, Trump said it appears the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened, helping lower energy prices around the world, after telephone conversations with a variety of Middle East leaders from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan and Bahrain.
He also discussed issues with Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, and Trump reported that talk went well.
While it appeared that there could be an announcement as early as overnight Saturday or Sunday, the volatility of the Iranian regime has triggered delays when circumstances looked positive earlier.
“An Agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the various other Countries,” Trump said.
“Final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly.”

Analysts suggested the comments were the strongest to date from Trump regarding the status of a resolution to the months-long conflict with Iran over its agenda for nuclear weapons.
Diplomats aware of Trump’s calls described them as “very positive.”
“Good progress is being made,” the diplomat, unidentified, told Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst.
“Regional leaders were supportive of the progress and of the breakthrough President Trump achieved with the talks,” the diplomat added.
Further, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., is calling for sanctions on any nation that would pay Iran for passage through the Strait, as those fees would fund the terrorist Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
