The US President, Donald Trump, has said the peace deal with Iran is in its final stages and suggested that the strait of Hormuz could open up in two or three days if an agreement with Tehran is secured.

“It will open up immediately upon signing,” he told reporters on the tarmac at JFK airport after watching the NBA Finals on Monday night, insisting that Iran will not be allowed nuclear weapons under the terms of a deal.
