- Trump told a White House cabinet meeting on May 27, 2026 that Iran is eager to reach a deal but the United States remains unsatisfied.
- Trump warned that the United States will either accept a satisfactory agreement or “finish the job.”
- Iran accused the United States of breaching the ceasefire by striking vessels in the Strait of Hormuz (India Today World).
- Iran state TV reported that a draft agreement with the United States would reopen Hormuz shipping and lift the naval blockade (Reuters).
