U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Thursday any deal with Iran must involve opening the Strait of Hormuz, but said he won't "get out ahead of" President Donald Trump. Speaking at the White House briefing, Bessent was repeatedly peppered with questions about reports that U.S. and Iranian negotiators have agreed to a memorandum of understanding.

But the treasury secretary wouldn't confirm that the tentative agreement to extend the ceasefire is in place, claiming he hadn't spoken with Trump on the matter before taking part in the White House briefing with reporters. “It’s always a mistake to get out ahead of the president," he said. "So it is all going to be the president’s decision.” Times Now - Times Now News channel examines news with in-depth analysis.
