"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

Iran's Fars: Based on the latest exchanged text, in the event of a possible agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will still be under Iran's management

Three senior Iranian officials said Iran had agreed to a memorandum of understanding that would stop the fighting and reopen the Strait of Hormuz: NYT

They also said that it focuses on opening the strait— including lifting the U.S. naval blockade against Iran and allowing free commercial traffic without Iran charging any tolls — and leaves thorny questions related to nuclear issues for a later date. Those nuclear issues, which had been a major sticking point in talks, would be negotiated within 30 to 60 days, they said, adding that the deal would release $25 billion in Iranian assets frozen overseas. It was not clear if the proposal Iranian officials said they had agreed to was what President Trump was referring to in his post on social media: NYT

The Iranian officials said that the new supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, who was injured on the first day of the war and is in hiding, had authorized General Ghalibaf to make decisions about the agreement and had informed other top generals and the negotiating team about how much Iran was willing to concede: NYT

Israel's N12: Make no mistake and don't let them work on you: the "Hormuz for Hormuz" equation may be good for the United States and global markets, but it's bad for Israel. It was not relevant at all before the war, and here it is at the top of the headlines of the agreement to end it. Not only that, Iran still demands that the actual management of the strait. In short, the Iranians have taken the issue of the strait and turned it into a strategic weapon
