Strait of Hormuz Deal: A Tenuous Ceasefire in the Face of Unyielding Pressure The sudden announcement from Donald Trump that a major peace agreement with Iran is near finalization, and that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen, has sent shockwaves through the global community.
This breakthrough comes after high level conference calls between Trump and key regional leaders, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, Turkey, and Pakistan's military chief.
The development is not without its precursors. The White House had stated that the final aspects of the agreement were being discussed by negotiators, with a formal announcement expected shortly.
