After threatening more strikes just hours earlier, President Trump is now saying a peace deal with
0:08
Iran could be just days away, calling it a great settlement of the war with Iran
0:13
That's where we begin this morning. Trump claims Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah
0:17
Muttabah Khomeini, has agreed in principle to a framework for peace that would extend
0:22
the ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. That's a sharp turn from Thursday morning when
0:28
the president was warning of new attacks, even floating the possibility of taking Karg Island
0:34
the hub for most of Iran's oil exports. It's a very strong memorandum of understanding. That
0:40
is a little conceptual, but it's something that's going to get done. And if it doesn't get done for
0:45
any reason, which I can't imagine that not happening, they want to sign it as much as I do
0:49
or more. I would say they want to sign it more, maybe a lot more, but it's a very detailed
0:55
a memorandum of understanding also agreed to by many other countries that have great influence over them And everybody wants it done So it going to get done Trump says Vice President J Vance could travel to Europe within days for a signing ceremony
1:11
The proposed framework, a 14-point document, would reportedly extend the ceasefire for 60 days
1:18
reopen shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, and ease some sanctions on Iran while negotiations
1:23
continue. Iranian state media has also published details of what it describes as a
1:29
draft version of the memorandum. But this morning, Tehran is not confirming the deal is done
1:35
Iran's foreign ministry says no final agreement has been approved and accuses Washington of
1:41
continuing to change its demands. That skepticism follows a week of escalation that saw U.S. warships
1:47
fire Tomahawk missiles at Iranian targets. Iran respond with attacks around the Gulf and shipping
1:54
through the Strait of Hormuz remain heavily disrupted. For now, questions remain about
1:59
whether this is a breakthrough or just the latest step in a negotiation that has repeatedly appeared
2:04
close before falling apart
