TRUMP: UNITED STATES OF THE MIDDLE EAST?

US AND IRAN CLOSE TO EXTENDING CEASEFIRE BY 60 DAYS, SAY MEDIATORS

FINANCIAL TIMES

IRAN SAYS ENDING US NAVAL BLOCKADE PART OF FRAMEWORK WITH US

People briefed on the high-stakes talks said it would include a gradual reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and a commitment to discuss the diluting or handing over of Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium.

The US would also ease its blockade of Iranian ports and agree to sanctions relief as well as the phased unfreezing of Tehran’s assets held overseas.

“THE DEAL SEEMS TO BE GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. IT’S WITH THE AMERICANS NOW FOR REVIEW,” A DIPLOMAT BRIEFED ON THE TALKS SAID

(just to be clear all these points are same as all previous proposals of Iran and then trump said unacceptable)

Ceasefire extension means nothing

Opening of SOH is the main issue here not ceasefire)

Trump says he's "50/50" on Iran deal or bombs, will meet envoys to decide: Axios

Trump told Axios on Saturday that he would be meeting with his negotiators later in the day to discuss Iran's latest offer, and would likely decide by Sunday whether to resume the war.

TRUMP SAYS HE WOULD NOT EVEN BE TALKING ABOUT AGREEMENT IF IT DID NOT PREVENT IRAN NUCLEAR WEAPON, ADDS IRAN ENRICHED URANIUM WILL BE SATISFACTORILY HANDLED

TRUMP SAYS I WILL ONLY SIGN A DEAL WHERE WE GET EVERYTHING WE WANT

TRUMP SAYS IF U.S. AND IRAN DO NOT COME TO AGREEMENT, NO COUNTRY WILL EVER BE HIT AS HARD AS THEY ARE ABOUT TO BE HIT

TRUMP SAYS U.S. IS GETTING A LOT CLOSER TO FINALIZING AN AGREEMENT THAT WOULD END THE WAR BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES

(trump says may or may not be, one way or another, prefer this but could be that, I don't know yet, we will see, could go either way, sooner or later, haven't decided yet)

IRAN'S FARS: IF THE US DOES NOT SHOW FLEXIBILITY, THE NEGOTIATION WILL FAIL

A knowledgeable source close to the negotiation team: Although the Americans have retreated from their initial approaches and accepted many of Iran's positions, there are still 3 serious points of disagreement that, if not resolved, the negotiation will not take place:

1. Iran will not enter negotiations on the nuclear issue in this round.

2. Iran's blocked funds are first transferred and released. Without this happening, we will not enter negotiations at all.

3. Iran's Control over SOH. ships must pass under Iran's management and exactly through the route Iran specifies

"Also, it makes one wonder why the war started to begin with if these perceptions are accurate"

Trump: I am in the Oval Office at the White House where we just had a very good call with President Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, of The United Arab Emirates, Emir Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, and Minister Ali al-Thawadi, of Qatar, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir Ahmed Shah, of Pakistan, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, of Türkiye, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, of Egypt, King Abdullah II, of Jordan, and King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, of Bahrain, concerning the Islamic Republic of Iran, and all things related to a Memorandum of Understanding pertaining to PEACE. An Agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the various other Countries, as listed. Separately, I had a call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, which, likewise, went very well. Final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly. In addition to many other elements of the Agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will be opened. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

According to Al Jazeera's Ali Hashem Sources:

The draft proposal that’s supposed to be finalized includes:

- End of war on all fronts including Lebanon

- Freeing several billion dollars of Iran's blocked funds

- Lifting the U.S. naval blockade and opening the strait of Hormuz

- Withdrawal of American forces from the immediate vicinity of Iran

- After this, the parties will have 30 days to agree on the nuclear issue.

- These 30 days can be extended by mutual agreement.

- during these 30 days, passage will be facilitated through the SOH

Iran's Fars: Trump's claim about the Strait of Hormuz returning to its previous state is not true
