A potential peace deal with Iran is nearing finalization, aiming to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. However, President Trump may withdraw if Iran's commitments do not meet his conditions.
- The negotiation process is progressing slowly due to the state of Tehran's government. A senior administration official indicated that the final deal might take up to a week to reach Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who is reportedly in hiding and possibly injured since the war began.
- The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the cessation of the American blockade of Iranian ports are expected to take approximately seven days.
- The United States will only lift sanctions once Iran surrenders its enriched uranium.
