Saturday

However, shortly after Trump's post, Iran's Fars news ⁠agency disputed the claim and said the Strait of Hormuz would stay under Iran's control, according to the latest exchanged text between the two countries.

Furthermore, Fars called Trump's characterization that deal was close to the finish line "inconsistent with reality."

Trust neither side. Wait until the United Nations says something, or perhaps the EU.
