The White House shared a screenshot of Trump’s post on its @WhiteHouse X account on 6 May 2026. Trump said that assuming Iran agrees to what has been agreed upon, Operation Epic Fury will end, and the blockade of the Hormuz Strait will allow it to be open to all, including Iran. However, Trump warned that if Iran does not agree to a peace deal, the bombing will start at a higher level and intensity than before.

According to the United States publication Axios, the United States and Iran are close to concluding a one-page memorandum to end the war, which had devastating effects on oil prices globally. The deal could include Iran agreeing to a moratorium on nuclear enrichment, and in return, the United States could lift sanctions. Both nations could also lift their respective restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz.
