Trump Says the Iran Deal Is Largely Negotiated. Iranian Media Says the Strait of Hormuz Is Still On the Table
President Donald Trump told reporters on 25 May 2026 that the proposed Iran nuclear deal is now "largely negotiated." Iranian state media immediately disputed the framing, signalling that Strait of Hormuz control remains an unresolved sticking point alongside uranium enrichment limits.
President's Optimistic Briefing Collides With Tehran's Public Denials as Strait of Hormuz Control and Uranium Enrichment Remain the Unresolved Sticking Points
President Donald Trump told reporters on 25 May 2026 that the proposed Iran nuclear deal is now "largely negotiated." Iranian state media immediately disputed the framing, signalling that Strait of Hormuz control remains an unresolved sticking point alongside uranium enrichment limits.
What Is Actually On the Table
Trump's optimistic assessment comes after weeks of mediation by Qatar and Pakistan. The President skipped his son's wedding to manage emergency Iran reviews. An Iraqi national was reportedly caught plotting against Trump's daughter Ivanka. The negotiation is taking place under heavy mutual threat.
The Crusader's Opinion
Pray for peace. Pray for protection over Iranian Christians who would suffer most if a major war erupts. Trump's optimistic public framing may be negotiating posture or may reflect real progress. Either way, the next 30 days are decisive.
