(MENAFN) A sweeping diplomatic breakthrough with Iran is within reach, U.S. President Donald Trump announced Saturday, stating that a peace agreement has been "largely negotiated" and awaits final confirmation among the United States, Iran, and other key Middle Eastern parties.

Posting on his Truth Social platform, Trump revealed that the Strait of Hormuz — one of the world's most strategically vital maritime corridors — would be unblocked under the terms of the emerging accord.

Concluding details remain under active discussion, with a comprehensive announcement expected in the near term, according to the President.

During Saturday afternoon, Trump engaged in telephone discussions with Gulf state officials and broader regional leadership to examine Tehran's latest negotiating position — a sign that high-level diplomacy is accelerating toward a resolution.

The President separately confirmed a direct phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, describing the exchange as one that, "likewise, went very well."
