President Donald Trump meets with aides in the Situation Room as he prepares to make a final decision on a proposed Iran agreement, according to reporting from The Independent and Business Standard. Both outlets describe the meeting as the last step before Trump decides whether to proceed with the deal.
The Independent reports that Trump confirms the deal would reopen the Strait of Hormuz after months of stalemate. It says the blockade or closure of the strait has contributed to disruptions and broader harm to the global economy. Business Standard similarly reports that Trump is considering lifting the Hormuz blockade and says the final call will come after the Situation Room meeting.
Both accounts reference conditions tied to the potential agreement, with the Strait of Hormuz reopening presented as a central element. While the sources agree on the timing and the focus on Hormuz access as part of the decision, they provide limited additional details about the specific terms of the proposed Iran deal beyond the stated linkage to reopening the strait.
