US President Donald Trump said regional allies have reached a framework agreement aimed at ending the conflict with Iran, adding that he has agreed to delay further military action while efforts continue to secure a final deal.
Trump said on Saturday, August 1, that the proposed framework would include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and steps to address what he described as Iran’s nuclear threat.
In a statement posted on Truth Social, Trump claimed that Iran and several Middle Eastern countries had asked Washington to suspend further attacks, saying discussions had created a possible path toward an agreement.
“The United States is ready to act,” Trump said, while adding that he had agreed to pause additional strikes in the interest of reaching a diplomatic solution.
Trump did not provide details about the reported framework, identify the countries involved, or say whether Iran had formally accepted the proposal.
Iran has not immediately confirmed Trump’s claims or publicly acknowledged that an agreement has been reached.
The statement comes amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran following months of military confrontation, with both sides warning of further escalation.
The Strait of Hormuz, a key maritime route connecting the Gulf with global markets, remains a major concern in the dispute. The waterway carries a significant portion of the world’s oil shipments, and any prolonged disruption could affect international energy supplies.
The reported framework represents a diplomatic development, but key questions remain over whether Iran, the United States and regional actors can reach a lasting agreement and prevent further military escalation.
