72-Hour Countdown: President Trump Slated To Formally Announce Landmark US-Iran Peace Deal | Exclusive Reported By, Last Updated: May 29, 2026, 21:36 IST President Trump has already announced the lifting of the US naval blockade around Iran and confirmed that American naval personnel are heading home US President Donald Trump and Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. File Image In a monumental geopolitical breakthrough that is set to fundamentally reshape the security architecture of West Asia, CNN-News18 has learnt that the United States and Iran have successfully concluded negotiations on a highly anticipated diplomatic resolution. According to top diplomatic sources in Washington, a formal announcement regarding the breakthrough is expected within the next 24 to 72 hours, with US President Donald Trump slated to deliver the final address shortly.
In a major logistical precursor indicating the definitive progress of the talks, President Trump has already announced the lifting of the US naval blockade around Iran and confirmed that American naval personnel are heading home. In immediate reciprocity to the American withdrawal, Iran is expected to announce the formal reopening of the strategic Strait of Hormuz, effectively defusing a critical global maritime flashpoint. The impending diplomatic breakthrough has been structured not as an immediate, singular deal but as a meticulous, two-phased framework agreement. The first phase of this historic framework will culminate in the signing of a comprehensive Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which establishes the foundational baseline for both nations. This will immediately trigger a strict, 60-day window for a secondary round of intensive talks.
This subsequent 60-day negotiation period will ultimately determine whether the framework successfully transitions into a permanent, legally binding treaty. The regional implications of the accord are already unfolding across major diplomatic channels. The US Secretary of State officially informed Pakistan’s Foreign Minister of the “positive progress" during a high-level bilateral meeting, confirming that Islamabad is slated to act as a formal witness to the first phase of the MoU. While President Trump has moved from the initial announcement to the White House Situation Room to make the final administrative call on the framework’s execution, the structural dismantling of the naval blockade serves as the clearest indication that both Washington and Tehran are fully committed to finalising the terms of reference for this historic shift in global diplomacy.
