US President Donald Trump said a deal to end the conflict between the US and Iran should be signed today, although Tehran has questioned the timeframe.
In a post on the social network Truth Social, Trump said the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route, would be "open to all" once the deal is reached.
"The deal should be signed today, and immediately after signing, the Strait of Hormuz will be open to all," Trump wrote late last night.

“We will have to wait and see the exact date of the signing of the memorandum of understanding, although it will not be today,” the spokesman said.
