US President Donald Trump repeatedly announced a deal to end the war with Iran was imminent, citing major points of agreement and progress. Despite disputing accounts that the agreement favored Tehran, he indicated a finalized deal was expected soon, with some statements suggesting a resolution within weeks. The President also mentioned a planned military attack was held off due to ongoing negotiations.

Analysts still assume that, despite the continued conflict, a deal will eventually be reached that ends the war and reopens the Strait of Hormuz.
