Middle East crisis live: fate of strait of Hormuz hangs in balance as Trump claims Iran deal ‘largely negotiated’
US President Donald Trump claims a peace deal with Iran 'largely negotiated' after consultations with Pakistani mediators, Gulf allies, and Israel, potentially ending a war launched in February. However, Iran's Fars news agency disputes this, stating the strategic Strait of Hormuz would remain under Iranian control despite Trump's assertion it would be opened.
