Summary
Trump's comments came after separate calls with Arab and Muslim leaders and with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. A U.S. official briefed on the negotiations told Axios the deal was nearly finished but that there were still gaps on the "wording" of several points. Reality check: Trump and his advisers thought they were close to a deal several times at earlier stages in the war, but none materialized. The deal is designed to end the war, gradually open the Strait of Hormuz, and launch at least 30 days of more detailed negotiations on issues including Iran's nuclear program.
