President Donald Trump has declared that the Strait of Hormuz will be “completely open” after announcing a breakthrough agreement with Iran, but fresh questions are already emerging over whether the fragile deal can survive. Speaking at the G7 Summit in France, Trump insisted the waterway would remain toll-free and fully operational as the U.S. prepares to formally sign the agreement in Geneva.
The proposed deal reportedly includes commitments on Iran’s nuclear program, sanctions relief, and reopening one of the world’s most critical oil shipping lanes. However, tensions remain high as Israel signals it will continue acting independently, Iran demands compliance with ceasefire terms, and European leaders debate security in the Gulf.
Will the Trump-Iran deal hold? What does it mean for global oil markets, the Middle East, and world trade? Watch the full breakdown.
In a fiery response to media reports, Trump labeled the suggestion of a payout to Iran as a “ridiculous rumour” and “fake news,” slamming reporters for spreading misinformation. The president’s outburst came amid growing scrutiny of the agreement’s details, which remain largely undisclosed.
