President Donald Trump said Saturday afternoon that the most recent agreement to end the war in Iran would open the Strait of Hormuz and the ‘Final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly.”
The announcement came after it was reported Friday the Trump administration was preparing “for a fresh round of military strikes against Iran.” Iran closed its western airspace yesterday and will keep it closed until Monday.
Multiple GOP senators weighed in on the potential deal Saturday. Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) said the war would have been for nothing if the U.S. agrees to a deal, while Sen. Lindsey Graham said an agreement would further embolden Iran.
