Donald Trump says "the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to" on Iran arrangement

President Donald Trump said late Saturday or early Sunday he had agreed on the framework of an arrangement with Iran, explaining his decision to pause planned military action after earlier threatening a strike of historic scale. His statement came shortly after Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman telephoned him to urge diplomacy, according to Saudi state media. Trump has described the prospective arrangement as covering the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the end of Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions, with Israeli participation. Iranian military officials reportedly rejected Trump's assertion that Tehran sought a halt, calling it false. The dispute follows months of direct US-Israeli attacks on Iranian forces and a collapsed ceasefire over the strategic waterway, raising fears of wider Gulf conflict.
