> Trump says a framework deal with Iran to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz is 'largely negotiated,' with a decision possible within 48 hours.

President Donald Trump announced Saturday that a framework deal with Iran to end the war that began February 28 and reopen the Strait of Hormuz has been "largely negotiated." Iran's Foreign Ministry called it a basis for further talks, with details to be hammered out over a 30-60 day window. Trump said a final decision could come within 48 hours, though mediators warned the deal could still collapse.

Under the framework, the strait would reopen to shipping with Iran clearing the mines it deployed, while the US lifts its naval blockade of Iranian ports. The blockade, in place since April 13, has seen US forces turn away more than 100 commercial vessels and disable four. Trump's guiding principle is "relief for performance" — sanctions waivers only after tangible Iranian concessions.

Nuclear issues are deliberately excluded from this stage; Iran says its focus is "ending the war on all fronts" and has refused to halt uranium enrichment. Mediation involved Qatar, Pakistan's army chief, Vice President JD Vance, and envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
