U.S. and Iranian Officials Near Final Terms on Deal to End War as Hormuz Reopening Remains Central Demand<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and senior members of the administration have spent recent days finalizing the outlines of a possible agreement to end the war with Iran. The talks center on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, lifting the U.S. naval blockade, and addressing Iran\u2019s nuclear program, even as limited military clashes continue.<\/p>\n

Speaking during a visit to India, Rubio repeated the administration\u2019s position that the strait must be reopened. \u201cThe straits have to be open, they\u2019re going to be open,\u201d he told reporters. \u201cWhat\u2019s happening there is unlawful, it\u2019s illegal, it\u2019s unsustainable for the world, it\u2019s unacceptable.\u201d He noted that negotiations were under way in Qatar the same day and that progress would depend on settling precise language. \u201cI think it\u2019s a lot of talking back and forth going on about specific language in the initial document, so it\u2019ll take a few days. The president expressed his desire to make it. He\u2019s either going to make a good deal or no deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

The diplomatic effort has unfolded against a backdrop of ongoing military activity. Dozens of U.S. warplanes and nearly two dozen Navy ships, including two aircraft carriers and their escorts, have maintained a blockade of Iranian ports in the Gulf of Oman and Arabian Sea. A senior U.S. military official said some of those forces were threatened by Iranian surface-to-air missiles, and that American strikes on Monday targeted areas near the Iranian port and naval base at Bandar Abbas. Although a cease-fire has been in place for roughly six weeks, American and Iranian forces have continued to clash in smaller incidents. The latest strikes occurred while Iranian negotiators were already in Qatar.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s foreign ministry spokesman, Esmaeil Baqaei, acknowledged Monday that the two sides had reached understandings on a substantial share of the issues under discussion. \u201cIt is correct to say that we have reached a conclusion on a large portion of the issues under discussion,\u201d he said at a weekly briefing. He quickly added, however, that a signed agreement was not close. \u201cTo say that this means the signing of an agreement is imminent\u2014no one can make such a claim.\u201d Baqaei accused Washington of shifting its positions during the talks.<\/p>\n

Under the framework being discussed, Iran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz in return for the United States ending its blockade of the waterway. Additional sanctions relief would be possible if Tehran agreed to reduce its uranium enrichment. A source familiar with the discussions said the basic elements of a deal command broad agreement and that the Trump administration is satisfied with the direction of the talks, even as details remain unresolved. The same source indicated that Iranian officials appear more willing to compromise than they were before the recent U.S. military operation.<\/p>\n

With both sides still refining language and the military situation remaining fluid, officials on both sides expect several more days of negotiation before any final decision. The administration has signaled it will accept only an agreement that meets its core conditions on Hormuz and nuclear activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
