Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump disclosed that he has just completed an exceptionally productive phone conversation with a broad coalition of regional and international leaders regarding Iran and a peace memorandum of understanding.

The call included Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Qatar's Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, Qatari Minister Ali Al Dosari, Pakistan's Chief of Staff General Syed Asim Munir Ahmad Shah, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, Jordan's King Abdullah II, and Bahrain's King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.

According to Trump's statement, a preliminary agreement has been reached—pending finalization—between the United States, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the other participating nations. The accord encompasses a peace framework centered on Iran policy.

In a separate development, Trump also held a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which he characterized as equally successful.

Final details and aspects of the agreement are currently under discussion, with an announcement expected in the coming days. Among the agreement's multiple provisions, the opening of the Strait of Hormuz has been included.
