U.S. President Donald Trump says he believes Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has approved a proposed deal with the United States. Speaking at the White House, Trump said he understood the answer to whether Khamenei approved the agreement was “yes.” He described the arrangement as a “very strong memorandum of understanding,” adding that it is “a little conceptual” but is “something that’s going to get done.” The reported terms, as described by Trump, would include triggering the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and lifting a U.S. blockade on Iranian ports. The outlets reporting the remarks present them as Trump’s account of his understanding of the supreme leader’s position, rather than as a separately confirmed decision or publicly detailed agreement. No additional details about the memorandum or timing for implementation are provided in the reports summarized here.
