President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that a peace deal with Iran is on the horizon, stating that discussions between the two nations will resume shortly. Trump mentioned that an agreement regarding the Hormuz region and nuclear issues is expected soon. This declaration follows Trump’s decision to call off a planned attack against Iran after being urged by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Iran itself.

Trump explained that the allies’ request to halt the strike indicated a potential deal in the works, focusing on both the Hormuz area and Iran’s nuclear program. The President’s comments come after he refrained from launching further attacks and received requests from Iran and other Middle Eastern countries to postpone any military action pending a potential agreement.

In a phone call, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman expressed concerns to Trump about potential escalations with Iran. The Saudis fear that any US actions targeting Iran’s energy infrastructure could lead to retaliatory attacks on the kingdom and other Gulf nations. During the call, the Crown Prince sought clarity on the US’s next steps against Iran. White House officials confirmed the conversation between the leaders but did not provide specifics about their discussion.
