ALBAWABA - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that he will be making a final decision on the war with Iran.

The president announced that he was now making a "final" decision on whether to agree to a peace deal with Iran or not.

"I will be meeting now, in the Situation Room, to make a final determination," Trump revealed.

He also stressed that Tehran should agree never to have nuclear weapons and to open the Hormuz shipping lanes.

Trump also noted the U.S. blockade on ships travelling through the Strait of Hormuz “will now be lifted.”

The U.S. leader posted via Truth Social, "Ships caught in the Strait due to our amazing and unprecedented Naval Blockade, which will now be lifted, may start the process of ‘heading home!’ Say HELLO to your wives, husbands, parents, and families from me, your favorite President!"
