Former US President Donald Trump hinted at a possible breakthrough in US-Iran relations as diplomatic talks reportedly intensified over nuclear controls
May 24, 2026: Former US President Donald Trump has suggested that a major peace agreement between the United States and Iran could soon be announced, raising hopes of easing tensions in the Middle East. The development comes after weeks of heightened military concerns and diplomatic negotiations involving several regional leaders. According to reports, Trump discussed the matter with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir, along with other Middle Eastern leaders.
Sources familiar with the discussions said the proposed agreement may include decisions regarding Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile and the future management of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important maritime trade routes. American officials reportedly believe Tehran could agree to tighter controls on uranium enrichment as part of a broader diplomatic settlement aimed at reducing regional tensions.
However, disagreements reportedly remain over the control and operation of the Strait of Hormuz. While the United States is said to be pushing for unrestricted international access through the route, Iran is reportedly seeking to maintain strategic authority and oversight over the passage. Diplomatic sources indicated that another round of talks may take place in Islamabad, where negotiators are expected to continue discussions under a broader memorandum of understanding framework. Analysts believe any formal agreement could significantly reshape geopolitical dynamics in the Middle East and stabilise global energy markets.
