U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that an agreement with Iran is close and that new negotiations will commence on Monday. He also cancelled a planned "massive" strike, describing it as the biggest attack since World War II.

Trump emphasized that he does not want to “kill people” and prefers a diplomatic path, but he gave no details on the venue or participants of the talks.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that reopening the Strait of Hormuz could stabilize global oil prices, while a broader nuclear deal remains elusive, affecting regional security dynamics.

"A Hormuz agreement is feasible, but a full nuclear settlement with Iran remains far off," said an international relations expert.

According to Al Jazeera’s reporter in Doha, unnamed sources suggest mediators are ready to fly to Tehran for an indirect session. Pakistani and Qatari envoys are expected to facilitate the process, though the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman denied hosting any foreign delegation, hinting that direct talks may be off the table.

The most concrete progress appears in the bilateral talks between Iran and Oman over managing the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s foreign minister described these negotiations as being in their “final stages,” while Oman’s proposal for joint management was rejected by Tehran.
