The US is close to reaching a deal with Iran that would end the war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and see Iran give up its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, regional officials told The Associated Press.

Iran has not publicly committed to giving up its uranium — a key demand of US President Donald Trump — and the sides have seemed close to a deal in recent weeks without clinching one.
