Former U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that a peace agreement with Iran is largely negotiated, highlighting a key provision aimed at ensuring the Strait of Hormuz remains open.

good morning host🙋🏻❤️
He said that 2 months ago 😂😂😂
Mighty US really put Iran in their place! 😂
So…. The opening of the Strait of Hormuz, likely under Iranian control. The unfreezing of Iranian assets held overseas. And Iran's nuclear programme remains unresolved. Dunno about you guys, but this sure as hell doesn't sound like the win that Trump promised. Sounds a lot fkn worse than it was before the war. Makes you wonder if Trump ever read his own Art of the Deal book.
