US President Donald Trump says an agreement with Iran has been "largely negotiated" and details will be announced soon. The deal would include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, he said on Saturday, without giving further details. An Iranian foreign ministry spokesman earlier told state television that US and Iranian positions had been converging in the last week, but warned that did not mean agreements would be reached on key issues and accused the Americans of "contradictory statements".
Main Idea: President Donald Trump said a deal with Iran is mostly done and would include reopening the Strait of Hormuz, but key details still need to be finalized.
Key Points:
Uncertain Iran talks could keep oil and shipping markets jumpy, which may raise fuel and goods costs for US households and small businesses.
A real deal could lower the risk of war and help keep the Strait of Hormuz open, which may ease energy prices for consumers.
