Donald Trump declared the Iran conflict over as diplomatic talks begin in Switzerland, though a crucial U.S. naval blockade remains in place.
Despite his announcement, Trump indicated that the situation was not yet fully resolved. He said the U.S. naval blockade affecting the Strait of Hormuz would remain in place until a formal agreement was completed. Trump said representatives would meet in Switzerland to finalize the proposed arrangement, with reports suggesting that a formal agreement could potentially be signed within days. The development followed a period of intense military escalation between Washington and Tehran.
Trump said he had discussed the emerging agreement with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as well as leaders from several other countries in the region. Netanyahu’s office later confirmed the conversation and said Israel welcomed Trump’s commitment to ensuring that any final agreement would impose significant restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program and address other activities considered destabilizing. However, Israel was not described as a direct participant in the negotiations.
