US President Donald Trump
US President Donald Trump said Saturday that a prospective peace agreement with Iran is almost complete, adding that final aspects of the deal are currently under discussion ahead of an official announcement. 
In a statement from the Oval Office at the White House, Trump said he held what he described as a “very good” call with several Middle Eastern leaders, including Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Jordan’s King Abdullah II, and Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir.
Trump said an agreement had been “largely negotiated” between the US, Iran and several countries involved in the talks, noting that reopening the Strait of Hormuz would form part of the anticipated understanding.
The US president added that he also spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying the conversation “went very well.”
Trump’s remarks come after weeks of war and escalating tensions, amid intensified diplomatic efforts led by Pakistan and Gulf states aimed at containing the crisis and preventing a return to military confrontation.
