US Treasury Secretary said on Tuesday there is a chance a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could be reached by Wednesday, according to a report. The statement follows an earlier prediction by the Treasury Secretary, reported at 14:48 Jerusalem, that a deal could be signed 'today or tomorrow.'
The Treasury Secretary's remarks add to a stream of administration forecasts of an imminent US–Iran agreement. President Donald Trump has previously said the Strait of Hormuz would reopen as soon as Saturday or Monday, and that a final deal is in its 'fairly final stage.' However, Iran has denied any agreement, and analysts have expressed skepticism about the timeline.
No final deal has been announced, and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed to commercial shipping under Iranian restrictions.
