Iran war live updates: Conflicting signals about the deal, as U.S. and Iran describe the terms differently &#8211; Ya Libnan Ya Libnan Featured Lebanon World Opinion Business Arts Science Iran war live updates: Conflicting signals about the deal, as U.S. and Iran describe the terms differently May 25, 2026 Share: Boats anchored in the Strait of Hormuz.Credit&#8230;Reuters The official said Iran had also agreed to dispose of highly enriched uranium, but stressed that a deal had not yet been signed. American and Iranian officials have described the terms differently. Here’s the latest. The United States and Iran have agreed in principle to a deal that would wind down the war in the Middle East by reopening the Strait of Hormuz with a commitment from Iran to dispose of its highly enriched uranium, a senior U.S. official told reporters on Sunday. Iran’s leaders or official state media have not publicly commented on what is in any potential agreement or what is being discussed. Over the last 24 hours, Iranian and U.S. officials have offered some conflicting depictions of what a deal might contain. On Sunday, the U.S. official said a deal had not yet been signed and was still subject to final approval from President Trump and Iran’s supreme leader, which could take days. As part of the peace talks, President Trump is encouraging other Arab nations to join the Abraham Accords, the U.S.-brokered normalization agreements between Israel and several Arab countries.

Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, has been among the most concerned Republican lawmakers about a deal, posting several warnings on social media in recent days. But in an interview with The New York Times on Sunday, he said if Trump can get Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations to normalize relations with Israel, “It will be historic and one of the most consequential agreements in history.” “The whole goal has always been to isolate Iran,” he said. Rubio says details on the Iran nuclear program are still to be negotiated. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the United States was prepared to enter “into very serious talks” about Iran’s nuclear program if Iran reopened the Strait of Hormuz, signaling that the Trump administration was prepared to accept an interim agreement that didn’t immediately take away Iran’s ability to make nuclear weapons. “You can’t do a nuclear thing in 72 hours on the back of a napkin,” Mr. Rubio said in a brief interview Sunday during his visit to New Delhi. “The straits have to be immediately reopened, and then we will enter, under agreed-to parameters, into very serious talks about enrichment, about the highly enriched uranium and about their pledge to never have
