Le président américain Donald Trump said that the United States and Iran could reach a peace agreement as early as this weekend, an announcement that suggests the possibility of a major turning point in a conflict that has lasted for three months.
According to Trump, negotiations between the two countries have reached an advanced stage and involve high-level discussions. He also stated that several actors in the region largely support the ongoing diplomatic efforts, believing that a consensus is emerging around a settlement to the conflict.
If the agreement is signed, it would notably allow the reopening of maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway through which a significant portion of the world's oil and gas trade passes. Disruptions in this area have been a major contributing factor to the rise in energy prices observed in recent months.
According to the Iranian news agency Fars, authorities in Tehran are expected to approve the agreement. Several sources cited by Reuters indicate that discussions have intensified in recent days despite military clashes and persistent tensions between the two countries.
The conflict, which has claimed thousands of lives since it began three months ago, has deeply destabilized the region and fueled anxieties in international markets. The economic consequences have been felt far beyond the Middle East, particularly through soaring energy costs.
A signing in the coming days would constitute the most significant diplomatic breakthrough since the start of hostilities. However, several details remain to be finalized, and observers remain cautious until an official agreement is announced by both governments.
