US President Donald Trump on Friday said a potential deal with Iran was now at the stage of a "final determination", while laying out a detailed list of conditions for Tehran and signalling that restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz could soon be lifted.
In a characteristically dramatic message on Truth Social, Trump claimed ships stranded due to the US naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz could now begin "heading home".

"Ships caught in the Strait due to our amazing and unprecedented Naval Blockade, which will now be lifted, may start the process of ‘heading home!’ Say hello to your wives, husbands, parents, and families from me, your favorite president!" Trump wrote.
The remarks come amid ongoing indirect talks between Washington and Tehran, with mediators attempting to secure a ceasefire framework and reopen the strategically critical Strait of Hormuz.
