It may take up to a week to finalize a peace deal with Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but President Trump may opt out if Tehran doesn’t commit to his terms, a senior administration official told The Post Sunday.
After Trump signaled that negotiations over the war and Iran’s nuclear program were in their final phase, the state of Tehran’s government has made the final process move slowly, one senior official said.
The source indicated that it may take several days for the final deal to make its way to Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who remains in hiding since the war began and is believed to be injured.
The actual opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the end of the American blockade of Iranian ports would take around seven days, with the US to only lift sanctions once Iran surrenders its enriched uranium, the official added.
