CNN confirms Trump cedes Strait of Hormuz to Iran in ceasefire agreement
CNN has interrupted its regular programming to report breaking news on the ongoing US-Iran conflict. The network revealed that US President Donald Trump has handed over control of the strategic Strait of Hormuz to Iran as part of a ceasefire deal. This move includes Iran imposing a fee on all vessels passing through the waterway.
Anchor Erin Burnett announced the development on air, stating that the agreement is a setback for Trump, who has been in a heated dispute with Iran over the strait. The news came after Trump’s controversial remarks at a recent event that shocked the audience.
Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, confirmed the ceasefire agreement, mentioning that Iran’s military operations would cease if attacks against the country stopped. He also stated that safe passage through the strait would be allowed for two weeks with coordination with Iran’s Armed Forces.
Further details from Iran’s Supreme National Security Council indicated that the ceasefire could be extended if talks progress positively. CNN’s coverage included a discussion with senior reporter Zachary Cohen, who emphasized the significance of Iran now controlling the strait.
The update follows Trump’s cryptic message on Truth Social and his remarks about a forthcoming significant moment in world history. Additionally, Karoline Leavitt’s recent transformation and plans for maternity leave were highlighted in the news.
