Breaking News: In what may be the most pivotal development since the Iran war began on February 28, President Trump announced Saturday that a peace framework with Iran has been "largely negotiated" and will be announced "shortly" — and that it will include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump told CBS News he has already read a draft of the deal and that "every day it gets better and better."
What Happened
President Trump said Saturday that a framework for a peace deal with Iran will be announced shortly and it will include opening the Strait of Hormuz. He told CBS News that the US and Iran are "getting a lot closer" to reaching a peace deal and that there is a draft he has already read. Trump said he won't provide details until Iran is informed first. Secretary of State Rubio described "slight progress" in talks while confirming the US position: "Iran can never have a nuclear weapon."
Key Details
Trump Has Read a Draft. Trump confirmed to CBS News: "There's a draft of an Iran peace deal." He said he will "only sign a deal where we get everything we want" — including Iran's enriched uranium being addressed and a permanent guarantee of no nuclear weapons.
Rubio in Sweden: "Slight Progress." Speaking at a NATO summit in Sweden on Friday, Rubio said the US was waiting for Iran to respond to the latest terms conveyed via Pakistani mediators. Tehran confirmed Thursday it was considering the proposal. "There's been a little bit of movement, and that's good," Rubio said.
Iran's Conditions. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baqaei said the US must end its blockade of Iranian ports as part of any peace deal, calling it "completely contrary to international law."
Strait of Hormuz Is Central. The reopening of the Strait — through which 20% of the world's oil flows — is confirmed as a core component of any framework. 800+ commercial vessels remain stranded and global oil prices remain elevated.
Lebanon Still Burning. Four paramedics were killed Friday in an Israeli strike on an ambulance center in south Lebanon. According to the WHO, there have been 169 attacks on healthcare workers and facilities in Lebanon since March 2.
Why It Matters
84 days after the Iran war began — 84 days of bombs, blockades, ceasefire, failed talks, and $25 billion spent — Trump is saying a deal is not just possible. It is drafted. It exists. He has read it.
If true, this would end one of the most consequential conflicts of the 21st century in under three months. If the framework collapses, we are back to square one — with depleted weapons stockpiles and a ticking clock.
The next 24-72 hours may be among the most consequential in modern Middle Eastern history.
