Reports claiming that former U.S. President Donald Trump signed a preliminary agreement with Iran to end conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz lack any factual basis in official records. NPR—the cited source—never reported such an event, and no diplomatic records, official announcements from the Government of Iran, the U.S. Pentagon, or the U.S. Department of State support this claim.
