Donald Trump hails imminent end of 'legendary' Iran war campaign with hope Strait of Hormuz reopens

President Donald Trump has hailed an imminent end of his "legendary" Iranian war campaign with hopes the Strait of Hormuz will reopen.

Mr Trump took to his social media platform Truth Social to share the latest development in the deal deliberations.

However, he did warn that "bombing" against Iran will start again at a "much high level and intensity" if Tehran do not agree to a peace deal.

Mr Trump wrote: "Assuming Iran agrees to give what has been agreed to, which is, perhaps, a big assumption, the already legendary Epic Fury will be at an end, and the highly effective Blockade will allow the Hormuz Strait to be OPEN TO ALL, including Iran.

"If they don’t agree, the bombing starts, and it will be, sadly, at a much higher level and intensity than it was before. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

This comes amid reports that the White House and Tehran are closing in on a peace deal.

A one-page memorandum of understanding is being drafted which will expected to set a framework for future discussions over a deal on nuclear non-proliferation, Axios reports.

Whilst nothing has been agreed yet, inside sources say this has been the closest the two nations have been to striking a peace deal.

The proposed framework would see Iran agree to halt uranium enrichment for a defined period, whilst the US would commit to easing sanctions and unlocking billions of dollars in Iranian assets currently frozen abroad.

Both countries would also ease restrictions on commercial navigation through the critical shipping lane, the Strait of Hormuz.

However, most terms of the deal would only take effect upon a final agreement, meaning the situation could remain unresolved indefinitely.

Active fighting is paused by no lasting settlement is in place.
