President Trump Signals Potential End to Iran War Amid Regional Mediation
U.S. President Donald Trump announced on May 23, 2026, that a framework agreement to end the "Iran war" is largely negotiated and that a final deal is expected soon. The announcement came amid intensive diplomatic mediation by Pakistan and Qatar, with Pakistan's Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir visiting Tehran for a second time. The conflict, which began in February 2026, has significantly disrupted global energy markets and shipping in the strategic Strait of Hormuz over the past three months.
