US President Donald Trump has rejected the suggestion the United States has made major concessions to Iran while a senior US official called an emerging pact "performance-based" with Iran getting no frozen assets until its part of the agreement is fulfilled.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said Iran's leaked comments on a deal with the United States do not represent what has been agreed to in writing.
"What they said, including their weak and pathetic statement on having a deal, bears no relation to the truth. Very dishonourable people to deal with. With them, there is no such thing as dealing in good faith. AMAZING!," he wrote on Truth Social.
Iran's version of the deal as outlined by the IRNA news agency said the United States will release part of Iran's frozen assets immediately after the deal is signed with the remainder freed gradually during further negotiations.
It says Iran's nuclear program remains untouched.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on Friday on X that the memorandum of understanding had "never been closer" but warned against speculation over its contents until it was finalised.

WASHINGTON (TNND) —A potential agreement between the United States and Iran to end the fighting — and ease pressure on global energy markets — appeared to be nearing completion Friday, even as tensions flared over leaked details of the proposed deal.
President Donald Trump said Thursday that a peace deal with Iran could be signed soon, possibly in Europe. (TNND)
President Donald Trump said Thursday that a peace deal with Iran could be signedsoon, possibly in Europe.
Heading into Friday, Iranian state media began leaking what was described as a 14-point plan. The alleged terms included a permanent ceasefire, including with Israel and Lebanon; a $300 billion reconstruction plan for Iranian cities; reopening the Strait of Hormuz under Iranian control; lifting the U.S. naval blockade within 30 days; $24 billion in unfrozen assets for Iran and lifting of sanctions on oil; and 60 more days of negotiations on Iran’s enriched uranium.
The leaked terms prompted an angry response from Trump,who called the Iranians "dishonorable" people on Truth Socialand wrote in part, “The terms that Iran leaked out to the Fake News ha…
A memorandum between the United States and Iran to halt the war in the Gulf could be signed as soon as Sunday, a Western source says, with Geneva emerging as the likeliest venue.
A memorandum between the United States and Iran to halt the war in the Gulf could be signed as soon as Sunday, a Western source says, with Geneva emerging as the likeliest venue.
The source said language in the memorandum was still being finalised and Iran was sticking to its position that the deal must also end fighting in Lebanon, where Israel has been battling against the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia.
The aim was to finalise the wording by Saturday so the agreement could be signed by US Vice-President JD Vance and Iran's parliament speaker Mohammed Baqer Qalibaf.
No venue had been established but Geneva was emerging as the likeliest.
Trump said on Thursday he was calling off new strikes on Iran because the deal was now ready.
"We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran," Trump told reporters in the White House on Thursday.
But the terms of the deal as described on Friday by Iranian officials appear to offer Tehran much of what it has demanded, with Trump appearing to win little of what he has sought, beyond the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran shut after he ordered attacks in February.
A senior Iranian source told Reuters on Friday that the d…

WASHINGTON --President Donald Trump asserted on Wednesday that Iran's "negotiating on fumes" and insisted November's midterm elections won't factor in shaping his approach to the nearly three-month-old conflict that's spurred unease across the global economy.
Speaking at the start of a Cabinet meeting at a precarious moment for talks aimed at ending the war, Trump expressed confidence that a deal is near. Over the weekend, he even declared that his administration and Tehran had "largely negotiated" a settlement, but the negotiations were still in flux.
The president is looking for a settlement that will reopen the Strait of Hormuz and provide him a credible argument that Iran's nuclear capability has been diminished enough to declare victory, winding down a conflict that's been politically unpopular for Republicans.
But as things stand, Trump also risks finding that closure to his war of choice comes with an unsatisfactory ending.
The emerging deal puts off many critical issues to be resolved later and has already exposed the Republican president to fierce criticism - even from some of his own supporters - that I…

WASHINGTON (TNND) —The Trump administration is touting a newly announced agreement with Iran as a major diplomatic breakthrough, ending direct hostilities between the two countries and opening the door to broader negotiations. But while the deal establishes a framework for future talks, many of the most contentious issues between Washington and Tehran remain unresolved.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth argued the administration's military and economic pressure campaign helped bring Iran to the negotiating table. (TNND)
President Donald Trump announced the agreement Thursday following days of negotiations, describing it as an important step toward stability in the Middle East after weeks of escalating tensions.
The memorandum of understanding includes an immediate ceasefire between the United States and Iran, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping and limited sanctions relief for Tehran. The agreement also provides access to some frozen Iranian assets and establishes a 60-day negotiating window to reach a more comprehensive accord.

Donald Trump’s claim that the US and Iran are closing in on a peace deal has already been met with widespread criticism within his own Republican party.
The details haven’t been made public but Iran is said to have agreed to
reopen the Strait of Hormuz
, without charging tolls, and dispose of its stockpile of
highly enriched uranium
. In return, the US would cease hostilities, unfreeze billions of dollars of assets, and gradually remove economic sanctions.
But Republican Senator Ted Cruz said it would be a “disastrous mistake” to leave Iran “able to enrich uranium and develop nuclear weapons, and having effective control over the Strait of Hormuz”. And Senator Roger Wicker, chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, warned that the emerging deal “would not be worth the paper it is written on”…

Trump has sold the Iran deal as a clean transactional win: Iran opens Hormuz, the United States eases pressure, nuclear talks proceed, and Trump declares victory. But Iran appears to be saying something much broader: no regional ceasefire, no open Strait. That is not a minor difference.

WASHINGTON (TNND) —President DonaldTrump said the U.S. is set to sign a new agreement with Iran, noting that the deal would prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, as well as "immediately" reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The president said the deal is "the exact opposite" from the 2015 nuclear accord negotiated when former President Barack Obama was in office. He has long criticized that deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, arguing it failed to permanently prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
In his social media post, Trump said Iran no longer seeks a nuclear weapon and would not obtain one through "purchase, development, or any other form of procurement." He also said no money would change hands as part of the agreement.
Trump also said nuclear material remaining in Iran would eventually be removed and destroyed.
Trump issued a warning if the deal falls through.
Trump on Thursday said he was"pretty confident" the U.S. is close to reaching a deal, adding that a formal agreement might be signed within days. He said the documents were almost finished and that the deal sh…

US x Iran diplomatic meeting by...? - Polymarket
Recent indirect talks between US and Iranian officials, mediated by Oman and Pakistan in venues such as Geneva, Muscat, and Islamabad, have produced signals of progress on nuclear issues, sanctions, and the Strait of Hormuz, yet intermittent US strikes and disputes over terms have sustained tensions as of mid-June 2026. President Trump has publicly referenced imminent signing timelines, while Iranian Foreign Ministry statements note broad understandings alongside unresolved gaps, with both sides awaiting high-level approvals. These developments, alongside the temporary April ceasefire and ongoing mediator shuttles, shape trader assessments of whether a direct in-person meeting will materialize before near-term deadlines, reflecting the fluid balance between diplomatic momentum and escalation risks.

WASHINGTON, June 14 (Reuters) - With an agreement on a framework for a peace deal with Iran, U.S. President Donald Trump may have found a way to begin extricating himself from an unpopular war while setting global markets on a path toward easing energy prices that have spiked during the crisis.
But he has settled for a deal that appears short of many of the goals he outlined in the early days of the conflict, potentially opening himself up to attacks from hawks in his own party and leaving the U.S. looking strategically worse off than it did before he went to war.
More than three months after attacking the Islamic Republic, Trump on Sunday gave his approval to a “memorandum of understanding” that marks the most significant breakthrough in peace talks so far, including Iran’s commitment to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which could help lower high U.S. gasoline prices.
At the same time, the Pakistani-mediated deal - the text of which was not immediately released - also apparently calls…

ISLAMABAD — The United States and Iran are close to signing an agreement aimed at ending their war, three regional officials told The Associated Press on Friday. A senior U.S. official said the tentative deal includes terms for removing and destroying nuclear material from Iran.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi posted Friday on X that an agreement “has never been closer.” He gave no details, saying a final deal was still pending.
The apparent breakthrough in negotiations comes after Iran exchanged fire with the U.S. and Israel over three days this week, threatening to return the Middle East to full-scale war.
U.S. President Donald Trump has said multiple times in recent weeks that the countries were on the cusp of a deal. The war launched by the U.S. and Israel on Feb. 28 has rattled the Middle East and virtually shut down oil and natural gas shipments from the Persian Gulf. A fragile ceasefire has been in place since April 7.

“Time is on our side,” he wrote in a post on Truth Social, a step back from earlier public statements from Trump and officials from both nations that had indicated a deal was close to being announced.
He added: “There can be no mistakes! Our relationship with Iran is becoming a much more professional and productive one.”
Later Sunday, a senior administration official told NBC News, “The Iran agreement will not be signed today, but there has been progress on a deal.”

WASHINGTON (TNND) —President Donald Trump teased on Tuesday that he will hold a news conference and read the 60-day Iran ceasefire deal word-for-word "in a couple of days."
His comments came during a bilateral meeting with United Arab Emirates President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan at theG7 summit in France. Trump said he was waiting for a "formal setting" to release the full text.
“I'll not only release it — I'll probably have a press conference and read it to you word by word, so that the press covers it accurately,” Trump said, while calling it a complete reversal of former President Barack Obama's deal.
Vice President JD Vancesaid Monday that he expected the text of the memorandum, which has already been signed digitally, to be released this week. Swiss Foreign Ministry said a signing ceremony will take place on Friday at Bürgenstock resort near Luzern. Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and the president's son-in-law Jared Kushner will lead the American delegation.
“The agreement is fundamentally built around a two-step verification process," Vance said. “We say to the Iranians, ‘You are welco…

Iran reportedly launches missiles, Trump mulls war deal - CNBC
Iran's armed forces fired missiles at unidentified targets late Thursday local time, the state media outlet Fars reported.
The latest military action in southern Iran came hours after the Pentagon said that Iran had launched a ballistic missile toward Kuwait and deployed attack drones in and around the strait.
Earlier Thursday, a White House official confirmed anAxiosreport that the U.S. and Iran have "mostly agreed" to the terms of an agreement to temporarily end the three-month-old war.
But PresidentDonald Trumphas yet to give final approval to the 60-day memorandum of understanding, which would extend an ongoing ceasefire and start nuclear negotiations, that official said.
Axios reported that American officials said Iran has signed off on that deal, but noted that Tehran has not confirmed that.

HUNT VALLEY, Md. (TNND) —President Donald Trump denied Tuesday that his hawkish Republican ally, Senator Lindsey Graham, is doubtful of Iran’s perception of its peace treaty with the U.S.
The South Carolina lawmaker expressedconcernSunday over the potential discrepancy between Tehran’s understanding of the agreement and the Trump administration’s messaging. The president has claimed that Iran is in agreement to end its nuclear program, a major issue the two delegations will reportedly negotiate over the summer.
“I’ll have to talk to Lindsey. He’ll be in big trouble,” Trump joked to reporters in France, where he's attending the G7 summit of world powers. “Lindsey’s good. Lindsey’s fine. He’s not skeptical. He’s just fine.”
Graham said in an X post he would follow the negotiations over Iran’s nuclear capabilities, which the two delegations reportedly plan to address in the 60 days after their Friday treaty signing. The Trump administration, he added, should brief Congress on the agreement’s terms since any nuclear deal with Tehran requires a review on Capitol Hill.

resident Trump skipped
his eldest son’s wedding and held staff back in Washington over the holiday weekend, expecting that a deal with Iran that he said on Saturday was “largely negotiated” would soon be ready. His secretary of state, Marco Rubio, who was on a four-day trip to India, said on Sunday that a deal could come that day. Then he said the same thing on Monday. Yesterday, Rubio suggested the deal could take a “few more days.” Then Trump scheduled a Cabinet meeting at Camp David, the site of previous landmark Middle Eastern peace accords, for today, heightening the sense of anticipation. But inclement weather forced the meeting back to the White House, and within the first 10 minutes, with the administration’s top officials and their red baseball caps arrayed around him, Trump conceded he had nothing to unveil. “They want very much to make a deal,” Trump said of the Iranians. “So far, they haven’t gotten there.”
Neither, of course, has Trump. The agreement under discussion—reportedly a one-page “memorandum of understanding”—would put negotiators on a 60-day clock to find a way t…

As the United States and Iran work towards signing a peace deal to end the nearly three-month-long conflict in West Asia, US President Donald Trump appeared confident of the agreement as he arrived in France for the2026 G7 Summit.However, back in Washington, the story is different.
The Trump administration remains doubtful of Iranian intentions towards the peace agreement, Axios reported. CIA Director John Ratcliffe told Trump and other senior officials of the administration about the doubts about Iran's willingness to stick to the nuclear concessions sought by the US.

Along with Ratcliffe, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth have also raised their concerns regarding the 14-point memorandum of understanding.

SincePresident Trump agreed to a two‑week ceasefire with Iran, Tehran is now calling the outcome a major victory after the United States accepted, in principle, to its 10-point plan, according to a statement from the Supreme National Security Council of Iran.
The plan includes key points such as allowing “regulated passage through the Strait of Hormuz under the coordination of the Armed Forces of Iran,” which the council says will give the country a “unique economic and geopolitical standing.”
Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Aragachi highlighted that during the ceasefire, safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz “will be possible via coordination with Iran’s Armed Forces and with due consideration of technical limitations.” He also expressed gratitude to Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir for urgingPresident Trumpto implement the ceasefire.
The council described the outcome as a “crushing defeat” for the United States in what it called an “unfair, unlawful, and criminal war against the Iranian nation.” As part of the agreement, Iran says the US has agreed to lift …

WASHINGTON (TNND) —The Trump administration is touting a newly announced agreement with Iran as a major diplomatic breakthrough, ending direct hostilities between the two countries and opening the door to broader negotiations. But while the deal establishes a framework for future talks, many of the most contentious issues between Washington and Tehran remain unresolved.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth argued the administration's military and economic pressure campaign helped bring Iran to the negotiating table. (TNND)
President Donald Trump announced the agreement Thursday following days of negotiations, describing it as an important step toward stability in the Middle East after weeks of escalating tensions.
The memorandum of understanding includes an immediate ceasefire between the United States and Iran, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping and limited sanctions relief for Tehran. The agreement also provides access to some frozen Iranian assets and establishes a 60-day negotiating window to reach a more comprehensive accord.

WASHINGTON (TNND) —President Donald Trump said the U.S. is set to sign a new agreement with Iran, noting that the deal would prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, as well as reopen the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping.
The president also issued a warning if the deal falls through.
Trump described the deal as fundamentally different from the 2015 nuclear accord negotiated when former President Barack Obama was in office. Trump has long criticized that deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, arguing it failed to permanently prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
In his social media post, Trump said Iran no longer seeks a nuclear weapon and would not obtain one through "purchase, development, or any other form of procurement." He also said no money would change hands as part of the agreement.
The president also said nuclear material remaining in Iran would eventually be removed and destroyed, though he did not provide specifics about how such a process would occur or wh…

SWITZERLAND engaged diplomatically IRAN in Tehran, Tehran, Iran
A memorandum between the United States and Iran to halt the war in the Gulf could be signed as soon as Sunday, a Western source says, with Geneva emerging as the likeliest venue.
The source said language in the memorandum was still being finalised and Iran was sticking to its position that the deal must also end fighting in Lebanon, where Israel has been battling against the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia.
The aim was to finalise the wording by Saturday so the agreement could be signed by US Vice-President JD Vance and Iran's parliament speaker Mohammed Baqer Qalibaf.
No venue had been established but Geneva was emerging as the likeliest.
Trump said on Thursday he was calling off new strikes on Iran because the deal was now ready.
"We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran," Trump told reporters in the White House on Thursday.
But the terms of the deal as described on Friday by Iranian officials appear to offer Tehran much of what it has demanded, with Trump appearing to win little of what he has sought, beyond the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran shut after he ordered attacks in February.
A senior Iranian source told Reuters on Friday that the d…
President Donald Trump has repeatedly said the US and Iran are on the cusp of a deal to end their conflict. The reality has proven more elusive – in part because of the nature of the negotiations themselves.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly said the US and Iran are on the cusp of a deal to end their conflict. The reality has proven more elusive – in part because of the nature of the negotiations themselves.
The latest instance came Thursday (US time), when Trump claimed that a deal was imminent, telling reporters that an agreement could be signed as early as this weekend. Iran rejected Trump’s claims, with its semi-official Fars news agency reporting that the regime’s leaders had not approved any text with the US.
While Trump’s penchant for overstatement, threats and enticements helps explain the confusion on the state of the negotiations, there’s another reason a deal has been so hard to reach: the unwieldy way in which the US and Iran are actually carrying out their negotiations.
US officials, analysts and people familiar with the matter say the negotiations are less actual talks and more a cumbersome process in which messages take days to move back and forth. The people asked not to be identified discussing the format of talks that have taken place well outside the spotlight.
Proposals from American negotiators wind their way through a circuitous diplomatic path, often invo…

Over Memorial Day weekend,
Donald Trump
made a
sudden announcement
that an agreement between the United States and Iran to end the war, which is approaching its three-month anniversary, was imminent. The two countries have been at a stalemate for the past several weeks, and in that time, rumors of deals have proven to be just that. But this time seemed to be different. On Friday the president
begged off
attending his son Donald Jr.’s wedding in the Bahamas,
saying
, “This is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran.” Then he canceled his scheduled golf outing at his Bedminster club to return to the White House. Trump never cancels his golf game, so when he posted that a deal was “largely negotiated” and close to “finalization,” it seemed as though it might be real.
Five days later, we’re still waiting.
The Islamic Republic quickly disputed T…

Summary
An interim agreement with Iran may be closer than ever, but the Trump administration faces major challenges ahead.
Key sticking points include dismantling Iran's nuclear program, handling enriched uranium, unfreezing billions in frozen Iranian assets and the funding of proxy groups.
On each point, Trump will have to make the case to the American public on why it improves on former President Barack Obama's Iran deal.
AI-generated summary was reviewed by a CNN editor.
There is suddenly newfound optimism about the Trump administration reaching an agreement with Iran to extend the ceasefire and to start to bring the war to an end — and not just
inside President Donald Trump’s head
this time.
Even Iran’s foreign minister says an agreement “
has never been closer
.”
But it’s important to note that, even if there’s good reason for the optimism, this would not be a peace deal, in and of itself. It’s the first step in a…

There is still no progress on a peace deal in Iran. Washington and Tehran’s statements about the state of negotiations are conflicting, with President Donald Trump emerging empty-handed from a two-hour meeting on the latest proposal from Iran. Trump wants Tehran to remove mines from the Strait of Hormuz and agree to destroy its enriched uranium, and Iran wants billions of dollars in assets unfrozen.

WASHINGTON (TNND) —President DonaldTrump said the U.S. is set to sign a new agreement with Iran, noting that the deal would prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, as well as "immediately" reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The president said the deal is "the exact opposite" from the 2015 nuclear accord negotiated when former President Barack Obama was in office. He has long criticized that deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, arguing it failed to permanently prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
In his social media post, Trump said Iran no longer seeks a nuclear weapon and would not obtain one through "purchase, development, or any other form of procurement." He also said no money would change hands as part of the agreement.
Trump also said nuclear material remaining in Iran would eventually be removed and destroyed.
Trump issued a warning if the deal falls through.
Trump on Thursday said he was"pretty confident" the U.S. is close to reaching a deal, adding that a formal agreement might be signed within days. He said the documents were almost finished and that the deal sh…

President Donald Trump said Thursday that a peace deal with Iran could be signedsoon, possibly in Europe.
Heading into Friday, Iranian state media began leaking what was described as a 14-point plan. The alleged terms included a permanent ceasefire, including with Israel and Lebanon; a $300 billion reconstruction plan for Iranian cities; reopening the Strait of Hormuz under Iranian control; lifting the U.S. naval blockade within 30 days; $24 billion in unfrozen assets for Iran and lifting of sanctions on oil; and 60 more days of negotiations on Iran’s enriched uranium.
The leaked terms prompted an angry response from Trump,who called the Iranians "dishonorable" people on Truth Socialand wrote in part, “The terms that Iran leaked out to the Fake News ha…

PresidentDonald Trumpon Friday insisted that the terms of awar-ending dealthat have been circulating in Iranian state media "have NOTHING to do with the terms that were agreed to, in writing."
Iran's Mehr News Agency had reported that a draft deal includes a commitment from the U.S. to lift oil sanctions and that final negotiations will not begin until half of Iran's frozen funds are released and a U.S. naval blockade ends. The deal also includes a pledge from Iran to reopen theStrait of Hormuzwithin 30 days, among other points, Mehr reported.
"What they said, including their weak and pathetic statement on having a deal, bears no relation to the truth," Trump said in an angryTruth Social postFriday morning, slamming the Iranians as "very dishonorable people to deal with."
"With them, there is no such thing as dealing in good faith," Trump wrote.
He also decried what he described as Iran's "totally rebuffed Drone attack last night" against Indian ships that were leaving the Strait of Hormuz.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said Iran's leaked comments on a deal with the United States do not represent what has been agreed to in writing.
"What they said, including their weak and pathetic statement on having a deal, bears no relation to the truth. Very dishonourable people to deal with. With them, there is no such thing as dealing in good faith. AMAZING!," he wrote on Truth Social.
Iran's version of the deal as outlined by the IRNA news agency said the United States will release part of Iran's frozen assets immediately after the deal is signed with the remainder freed gradually during further negotiations.
It says Iran's nuclear program remains untouched.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on Friday on X that the memorandum of understanding had "never been closer" but warned against speculation over its contents until it was finalised.

Questions continue to swirl about the agreement between the United States and Iran to end the war. Trump has offered few details but told reporters at the G7 Summit in France that the memorandum of understanding with Iran states clearly that Tehran will not have a nuclear weapon (so did the JCPOA)
A memorandum between the United States and Iran to halt the war in the Gulf could be signed as soon as Sunday, a Western source says, with Geneva emerging as the likeliest venue.
A memorandum between the United States and Iran to halt the war in the Gulf could be signed as soon as Sunday, a Western source says, with Geneva emerging as the likeliest venue.
The source said language in the memorandum was still being finalised and Iran was sticking to its position that the deal must also end fighting in Lebanon, where Israel has been battling against the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia.
The aim was to finalise the wording by Saturday so the agreement could be signed by US Vice-President JD Vance and Iran's parliament speaker Mohammed Baqer Qalibaf.
No venue had been established but Geneva was emerging as the likeliest.
Trump said on Thursday he was calling off new strikes on Iran because the deal was now ready.
"We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran," Trump told reporters in the White House on Thursday.
But the terms of the deal as described on Friday by Iranian officials appear to offer Tehran much of what it has demanded, with Trump appearing to win little of what he has sought, beyond the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran shut after he ordered attacks in February.
A senior Iranian source told Reuters on Friday that the d…
President Donald Trump says a preliminary agreement to end the war in the Gulf has been signed by the United States and Iran, though both countries say permanent truce is yet to be negotiated.
President Donald Trump says a preliminary agreement to end the war in the Gulf has been signed by the United States and Iran, though both countries say permanent truce is yet to be negotiated.
The agreement on Monday would extend a tenuous ceasefire announced in April by another 60 days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has effectively blocked since the US and Israel attacked Iran in February.
Negotiators would address difficult issues like the future of Iran's nuclear program during the next phase.
"The deal's all signed," Trump said after he arrived in France for a summit of the G7 group of big economies.
He said Vice President JD Vance would attend a formal signing ceremony in Geneva on Friday.
Oil prices fell to their lowest level since March 10, shortly after the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman, cut off one-fifth of the world's oil trade.
The deal is the most significant step yet to resolve the conflict, which has killed at least 7000 people, mostly in Iran and Lebanon, and upended global energy markets. But much about the agreement remains unknown, and whether its provisions differ from the April ceasefire was uncle…

Trump later said he had persuaded Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah to de-escalate. FRANCE 24's International Affairs Editor Philip Turle tells us more.

Trump ends Iran meeting without making ‘final determination’ on deal
PresidentDonald Trumpended a meeting in the White House Situation Room without announcing his final decision on whether to approve a deal to pause the three-month-old Iran war, an administration official told CNBC on Friday afternoon.
Trump earlier Friday said onTruth Socialthat he would be making his "final determination" during that meeting, after listing everything thatIranmust do for him to approve a deal.
It was not immediately clear from Trump's post which of his make-or-break conditions are already part of apreliminary agreementthat U.S. and Iranian negotiators are working on to pause the war.
Iran "must agree" to never have a nuclear weapon, and the Strait of Hormuz must be "immediately open" to unrestricted shipping traffic, with no tolls being imposed, Trump demanded in the Friday morning post.
He also said the retaliatory U.S. naval blockade against Iran in the Gulf of Oman "will now be lifted," though it was unclear if he meant that step would only be taken if the prior conditions were met.
Trump also stated that enriched material buried at the site of last year's attacks on Iran's nuclear facili…

US President Donald Trump said Tuesday that negotiators were in the "final throes" of talks for a peace deal in the Middle East, after Iran and Israel halted fresh hostilities that threatened to reignite the months-long war.Trump has repeatedly said that a peace agreement with Tehran is imminent, but diplomacy has stalled and the two sides have traded fire despite a ceasefire in place since April 8.For all the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app.Iran and Israel "were going back and forth and now they both agreed through me to stop and we’re in the final throes of what will be a very, very good deal," the US leader told reporters on his return from an NBA Finals game.Asked whether it would be matter of days or weeks, he said it would take "two or three days".Tehran has repeatedly stated any deal should include Lebanon -- where Israel has been pressing its war with Iran-backed Hezbollah -- and fired missiles at Israel on Sunday.That prompted Israeli

US President Donald Trump has rejected the suggestion the United States has made major concessions to Iran while a senior US official called an emerging pact "performance-based" with Iran getting no frozen assets until its part of the agreement is fulfilled.
US President Donald Trump has rejected the suggestion the United States has made major concessions to Iran while a senior US official called an emerging pact "performance-based" with Iran getting no frozen assets until its part of the agreement is fulfilled.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said Iran's leaked comments on a deal with the United States do not represent what has been agreed to in writing.
"What they said, including their weak and pathetic statement on having a deal, bears no relation to the truth. Very dishonourable people to deal with. With them, there is no such thing as dealing in good faith. AMAZING!," he wrote on Truth Social.
Iran's version of the deal as outlined by the IRNA news agency said the United States will release part of Iran's frozen assets immediately after the deal is signed with the remainder freed gradually during further negotiations.
It says Iran's nuclear program remains untouched.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on Friday on X that the memorandum of understanding had "never been closer" but warned against speculation over its contents until it was finalised.
Araqchi said Iran would share all details with …

IRAN expressed intent to cooperate PRESIDENT in Geneva, Genè, Switzerland
A memorandum between the United States and Iran to halt the war in the Gulf could be signed as soon as Sunday, a Western source says, with Geneva emerging as the likeliest venue.
The source said language in the memorandum was still being finalised and Iran was sticking to its position that the deal must also end fighting in Lebanon, where Israel has been battling against the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia.
The aim was to finalise the wording by Saturday so the agreement could be signed by US Vice-President JD Vance and Iran's parliament speaker Mohammed Baqer Qalibaf.
No venue had been established but Geneva was emerging as the likeliest.
Trump said on Thursday he was calling off new strikes on Iran because the deal was now ready.
"We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran," Trump told reporters in the White House on Thursday.
But the terms of the deal as described on Friday by Iranian officials appear to offer Tehran much of what it has demanded, with Trump appearing to win little of what he has sought, beyond the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran shut after he ordered attacks in February.
A senior Iranian source told Reuters on Friday that the d…

WASHINGTON (TNND) —President Donald Trump said the U.S. is set to sign a new agreement with Iran, noting that the deal would prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, as well as reopen the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping.
The president also issued a warning if the deal falls through.
Trump described the deal as fundamentally different from the 2015 nuclear accord negotiated when former President Barack Obama was in office. Trump has long criticized that deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, arguing it failed to permanently prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
In his social media post, Trump said Iran no longer seeks a nuclear weapon and would not obtain one through "purchase, development, or any other form of procurement." He also said no money would change hands as part of the agreement.
The president also said nuclear material remaining in Iran would eventually be removed and destroyed, though he did not provide specifics about how such a process would occur or wh…
🗞️ BREAKING
Trump says Iran is on the verge of a deal.
The Pentagon says it’s prepared to resume strikes if negotiations fail.
One administration.
Two messages.
One of them isn’t true.
President Donald Trump says a preliminary agreement to end the war in the Gulf has been signed by the United States and Iran, though both countries say permanent truce is yet to be negotiated.
President Donald Trump says a preliminary agreement to end the war in the Gulf has been signed by the United States and Iran, though both countries say permanent truce is yet to be negotiated.
The agreement on Monday would extend a tenuous ceasefire announced in April by another 60 days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has effectively blocked since the US and Israel attacked Iran in February.
Negotiators would address difficult issues like the future of Iran's nuclear program during the next phase.
"The deal's all signed," Trump said after he arrived in France for a summit of the G7 group of big economies.
He said Vice President JD Vance would attend a formal signing ceremony in Geneva on Friday.
Oil prices fell to their lowest level since March 10, shortly after the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman, cut off one-fifth of the world's oil trade.
The deal is the most significant step yet to resolve the conflict, which has killed at least 7000 people, mostly in Iran and Lebanon, and upended global energy markets. But much about the agreement remains unknown, and whether its provisions differ from the April ceasefire was uncle…

US President Donald Trump said in a recent interview withNBC Newsthat he would not unfreeze Iranian assets or lift any sanctions before a peace deal is reached.
He said he would consider those steps after an agreement is done. "Comes after," he said. "Yeah. If they behave, if they do a good job, we start talking. Yeah."
Trump also said that he was not demanding that Lebanon be a part of a short-term deal with Tehran. "I think they'd like to see it, but I'm not demanding," Trump said in the interview recorded on Friday.
US and Israeli forces began strikes on Iran on February 28. The Trump administration has been trying to negotiate a potential peace deal for weeks. "We're very close to a deal, or I'm going to blow the hell out of them," Trump toldNBC News.
The president also said he would be willing to speak with Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, who has not been seen in public since being wounded in US strikes at the beginning of the conflict.

HUNT VALLEY, Md. (TNND) —President Donald Trump denied Tuesday that his hawkish Republican ally, Senator Lindsey Graham, is doubtful of Iran’s perception of its peace treaty with the U.S.
The South Carolina lawmaker expressedconcernSunday over the potential discrepancy between Tehran’s understanding of the agreement and the Trump administration’s messaging. The president has claimed that Iran is in agreement to end its nuclear program, a major issue the two delegations will reportedly negotiate over the summer.
“I’ll have to talk to Lindsey. He’ll be in big trouble,” Trump joked to reporters in France, where he's attending the G7 summit of world powers. “Lindsey’s good. Lindsey’s fine. He’s not skeptical. He’s just fine.”
Graham said in an X post he would follow the negotiations over Iran’s nuclear capabilities, which the two delegations reportedly plan to address in the 60 days after their Friday treaty signing. The Trump administration, he added, should brief Congress on the agreement’s terms since any nuclear deal with Tehran requires a review on Capitol Hill.

WASHINGTON (TNND) —New details emerged about a memorandum of understanding between the United States andIranon the last day of theG7 summit, as President Donald Trump defended the agreement while warning that fighting could resume at any moment.
The president downplayed concerns about Iran receiving billions of dollars through the financing plan and oil sales, while emphasizing that a final deal needs to be reached in the next 60 days. Those 60 days is also expected to focus on disagreements over Iran’s current nuclear program. (TNND)

Trump said the deal is set to be formally signed soon, but he also threatened military action if Iran does not comply.

President Donald Trump says a preliminary agreement to end the war in the Gulf has been signed by the United States and Iran, though both countries say permanent truce is yet to be negotiated.
President Donald Trump says a preliminary agreement to end the war in the Gulf has been signed by the United States and Iran, though both countries say permanent truce is yet to be negotiated.
The agreement on Monday would extend a tenuous ceasefire announced in April by another 60 days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has effectively blocked since the US and Israel attacked Iran in February.
Negotiators would address difficult issues like the future of Iran's nuclear program during the next phase.
"The deal's all signed," Trump said after he arrived in France for a summit of the G7 group of big economies.
He said Vice President JD Vance would attend a formal signing ceremony in Geneva on Friday.
Oil prices fell to their lowest level since March 10, shortly after the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman, cut off one-fifth of the world's oil trade.
The deal is the most significant step yet to resolve the conflict, which has killed at least 7000 people, mostly in Iran and Lebanon, and upended global energy markets. But much about the agreement remains unknown, and whether its provisions differ from the April ceasefire was uncle…

ADMINISTRATION made statement IRANIAN in United Arab Emirates
President Donald Trump has repeatedly said the US and Iran are on the cusp of a deal to end their conflict. The reality has proven more elusive – in part because of the nature of the negotiations themselves.
The latest instance came Thursday (US time), when Trump claimed that a deal was imminent, telling reporters that an agreement could be signed as early as this weekend. Iran rejected Trump’s claims, with its semi-official Fars news agency reporting that the regime’s leaders had not approved any text with the US.
While Trump’s penchant for overstatement, threats and enticements helps explain the confusion on the state of the negotiations, there’s another reason a deal has been so hard to reach: the unwieldy way in which the US and Iran are actually carrying out their negotiations.
US officials, analysts and people familiar with the matter say the negotiations are less actual talks and more a cumbersome process in which messages take days to move back and forth. The people asked not to be identified discussing the format of talks that have taken place well outside the spotlight.
Proposals from American negotiators wind their way through a circuitous diplomatic path, often invo…

UNITED STATES engaged diplomatically GENEVA in Tehran, Tehran, Iran
A memorandum between the United States and Iran to halt the war in the Gulf could be signed as soon as Sunday, a Western source says, with Geneva emerging as the likeliest venue.
The source said language in the memorandum was still being finalised and Iran was sticking to its position that the deal must also end fighting in Lebanon, where Israel has been battling against the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia.
The aim was to finalise the wording by Saturday so the agreement could be signed by US Vice-President JD Vance and Iran's parliament speaker Mohammed Baqer Qalibaf.
No venue had been established but Geneva was emerging as the likeliest.
Trump said on Thursday he was calling off new strikes on Iran because the deal was now ready.
"We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran," Trump told reporters in the White House on Thursday.
But the terms of the deal as described on Friday by Iranian officials appear to offer Tehran much of what it has demanded, with Trump appearing to win little of what he has sought, beyond the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran shut after he ordered attacks in February.
A senior Iranian source told Reuters on Friday that the d…

WASHINGTON (TNND) —President Donald Trump said the U.S. is set to sign a new agreement with Iran, noting that the deal would prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, as well as reopen the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping.
The president also issued a warning if the deal falls through.
Trump described the deal as fundamentally different from the 2015 nuclear accord negotiated when former President Barack Obama was in office. Trump has long criticized that deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, arguing it failed to permanently prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
In his social media post, Trump said Iran no longer seeks a nuclear weapon and would not obtain one through "purchase, development, or any other form of procurement." He also said no money would change hands as part of the agreement.
The president also said nuclear material remaining in Iran would eventually be removed and destroyed, though he did not provide specifics about how such a process would occur or wh…

'Defeat Or Deal?!' Trump Says Iran War Is Done But Pentagon Isn't ...
A dispute over $12 billion in frozen Iranian assets has emerged as the first major hurdle to the newly announced U.S.-Iran peace framework. Iranian media says the draft memorandum requires billions of dollars to be released before formal negotiations begin, but U.S. officials insist no funds will be unlocked until Iran fulfills its commitments. The disagreement comes ahead of a planned signing ceremony in Geneva and could determine whether the broader deal on sanctions relief, the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran’s nuclear program moves forward.
Iran’s military has declared that it “humiliated” the United States and Israel and forced them toward a peace agreement after months of escalating conflict. In a statement broadcast on state television, Tehran claimed its operations left its adversaries with “no path other than accepting defeat and surrender” as regional leaders welcomed the ceasefire framework. The announcement came as reports surfaced of a draft deal that could halt military operations, ease sanctions, and reopen the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.

WASHINGTON (TNND) —President DonaldTrump said the U.S. is set to sign a new agreement with Iran, noting that the deal would prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, as well as "immediately" reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The president said the deal is "the exact opposite" from the 2015 nuclear accord negotiated when former President Barack Obama was in office. He has long criticized that deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, arguing it failed to permanently prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
In his social media post, Trump said Iran no longer seeks a nuclear weapon and would not obtain one through "purchase, development, or any other form of procurement." He also said no money would change hands as part of the agreement.

"We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran, and we're going to be subject to finalization of documents, which should get done over the next few days," Trump said during an appearance in the Oval Office. "We'll probably have a signing, maybe in Europe, and it's a great thing."

Genie Godula is pleased to welcome Ali Vaez, Iran Project Director at the International Crisis Group. As Iran and the US seek an end to the war, an agreement so far remains elusive. Vaez challenges Donald Trump's claims that a deal is imminent, arguing that Trump is trapped between "an unwinnable war and an unpresentable deal". Rather than addressing the fundamental disputes surrounding Iran's nuclear programme, sanctions, or regional rivalries, the deal would merely restore the status quo: "All this deal would do is to basically consolidate the ceasefire. It would not resolve anything."

May 26, 2026
Bottom Line Up Front:
U.S. President Trump and Iranian officials have confirmed a wide range of global and regional reporting that the two sides are close to finalizing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that outlines a war-ending agreement and extends, for at least 60 days, theceasefirein place since April 7.During that time (which can be extended by mutual consent), the two parties are to resolve outstanding issues to reach a permanent war-ending accord. Expectations that an MOU deal was imminent were raised Friday by Pakistan’s Army Chief of Staff, Field Marshal Asim Munir’s visit to Iran. Munir has spearheadedPakistan’s roleas the primary mediator between Washington and Tehran. On Monday, a senior Iranian delegation that included lead negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of Iran’s Majles (parliament), traveled to Qatar for talks on the MOU. The visit took place after Qatari officials had traveled to Tehran in recent days to discuss unfreezing the more than $6 billion in Iranian assets held by the Qatar National Bank — a crucial issue for Iran.

President Donald Trump says a preliminary agreement to end the war in the Gulf has been signed by the United States and Iran, though both countries say permanent truce is yet to be negotiated.
The agreement on Monday would extend a tenuous ceasefire announced in April by another 60 days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has effectively blocked since the US and Israel attacked Iran in February.
Negotiators would address difficult issues like the future of Iran's nuclear program during the next phase.
"The deal's all signed," Trump said after he arrived in France for a summit of the G7 group of big economies.
He said Vice President JD Vance would attend a formal signing ceremony in Geneva on Friday.
Oil prices fell to their lowest level since March 10, shortly after the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman, cut off one-fifth of the world's oil trade.

President Donald Trump says a preliminary agreement to end the war in the Gulf has been signed by the United States and Iran, though both countries say permanent truce is yet to be negotiated.
President Donald Trump says a preliminary agreement to end the war in the Gulf has been signed by the United States and Iran, though both countries say permanent truce is yet to be negotiated.
The agreement on Monday would extend a tenuous ceasefire announced in April by another 60 days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has effectively blocked since the US and Israel attacked Iran in February.
Negotiators would address difficult issues like the future of Iran's nuclear program during the next phase.
"The deal's all signed," Trump said after he arrived in France for a summit of the G7 group of big economies.
He said Vice President JD Vance would attend a formal signing ceremony in Geneva on Friday.
Oil prices fell to their lowest level since March 10, shortly after the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman, cut off one-fifth of the world's oil trade.
The deal is the most significant step yet to resolve the conflict, which has killed at least 7000 people, mostly in Iran and Lebanon, and upended global energy markets. But much about the agreement remains unknown, and whether its provisions differ from the April ceasefire was uncle…

WASHINGTON (TNND) —President Donald Trump teased on Tuesday that he will hold a news conference and read the 60-day Iran ceasefire deal word-for-word "in a couple of days."
His comments came during a bilateral meeting with United Arab Emirates President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan at theG7 summit in France. Trump said he was waiting for a "formal setting" to release the full text.
“I'll not only release it — I'll probably have a press conference and read it to you word by word, so that the press covers it accurately,” Trump said, while calling it a complete reversal of former President Barack Obama's deal.
Vice President JD Vancesaid Monday that he expected the text of the memorandum, which has already been signed digitally, to be released this week. Swiss Foreign Ministry said a signing ceremony will take place on Friday at Bürgenstock resort near Luzern. Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and the president's son-in-law Jared Kushner will lead the American delegation.
“The agreement is fundamentally built around a two-step verification process," Vance said. “We say to the Iranians, ‘You are welco…

Trump did not provide details about the offer he said Iran had made but described it as related to oil, gas and the Strait of Hormuz.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were among the officials leading the talks and were "dealing with the right people" in Iran.
Tehran has not publicly acknowledged any such proposal. Iranian officials, however, have been quoted by various outlets as saying that they have received proposals conveyed through intermediaries and are reviewing them.
Trump suggested that Tehran was eager to reach an agreement after weeks of fighting with the United States and Israel.
“And the other side, I can tell you they’d like to make a deal, and who wouldn’t?” Trump said. “If you were there, look, their navy’s gone, their air force is gone, their communications are done — that’s the biggest problem.”
The president’s remarks marked a shift in tone from comments he made at the White House last week, when he said he did not want a cease-fire.
Pressed on the apparent reversal, Trump said the change reflected the progress of…

WASHINGTON --President Donald Trump asserted on Wednesday that Iran's "negotiating on fumes" and insisted November's midterm elections won't factor in shaping his approach to the nearly three-month-old conflict that's spurred unease across the global economy.
Speaking at the start of a Cabinet meeting at a precarious moment for talks aimed at ending the war, Trump expressed confidence that a deal is near. Over the weekend, he even declared that his administration and Tehran had "largely negotiated" a settlement, but the negotiations were still in flux.
The president is looking for a settlement that will reopen the Strait of Hormuz and provide him a credible argument that Iran's nuclear capability has been diminished enough to declare victory, winding down a conflict that's been politically unpopular for Republicans.
But as things stand, Trump also risks finding that closure to his war of choice comes with an unsatisfactory ending.
The emerging deal puts off many critical issues to be resolved later and has already exposed the Republican president to fierce criticism - even from some of his own supporters - that I…

Trump Iran Deal Fallout: Hegseth, Ratcliffe at Risk
—
Internal tensions are escalating within the Trump administration following the U.S.-Iran agreement, with reports indicating that senior officials who opposed the deal may soon be removed from their posts. According to an exclusive report by the Israeli newspaperHayom, President Donald Trump is reportedly considering the dismissal of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and CIA Director John Ratcliffe — both vocal critics of the accord.
‘The conflict with Iran is over. Anyone who opposed the agreement may pay a personal price,’ said a senior U.S. official, describing behind-the-scenes deliberations at the White House under Trump and his closest advisors.
At the same time, Secretary of State Marco Rubio appears to enjoy — for now — a form of political immunity. Unlike his colleagues, Rubio refrained from publicly criticizing the agreement and continues to command strong support across the administration, according to the same sources.
Just weeks ago, a highly charged meeting took place at the White House, revealing deep divisions among top officials — including between Vice President JD Vance and Trump himself. Vance, Special Envoy…

President Donald Trump said Thursday that a peace deal with Iran could be signedsoon, possibly in Europe.
Heading into Friday, Iranian state media began leaking what was described as a 14-point plan. The alleged terms included a permanent ceasefire, including with Israel and Lebanon; a $300 billion reconstruction plan for Iranian cities; reopening the Strait of Hormuz under Iranian control; lifting the U.S. naval blockade within 30 days; $24 billion in unfrozen assets for Iran and lifting of sanctions on oil; and 60 more days of negotiations on Iran’s enriched uranium.
The leaked terms prompted an angry response from Trump,who called the Iranians "dishonorable" people on Truth Socialand wrote in part, “The terms that Iran leaked out to the Fake News h…

"We're going to win one way or the other. We're going to either make a deal or we're going to finish the job—and it won't be tough to finish the job,"Trumpsaid at theWhite House. He said he would rather make a deal.
“I'd rather make a deal because I don't want to affect 91 million people. We can knock down their bridges in one hour,” Trump said.
Trump added that the US is going to get the ‘nuclear dust’ and that there will be no nuclear weapons, referring to the Iran-US deal.

A memorandum between the United States and Iran to halt the war in the Gulf could be signed as soon as Sunday, a Western source says, with Geneva emerging as the likeliest venue.
The source said language in the memorandum was still being finalised and Iran was sticking to its position that the deal must also end fighting in Lebanon, where Israel has been battling against the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia.
The aim was to finalise the wording by Saturday so the agreement could be signed by US Vice-President JD Vance and Iran's parliament speaker Mohammed Baqer Qalibaf.
No venue had been established but Geneva was emerging as the likeliest.
Trump said on Thursday he was calling off new strikes on Iran because the deal was now ready.

Iran has not signaled whether it will accept the terms, officials say.
President Donald Trump is demanding that Tehran put specific nuclear concessions down in writing as part of a preliminary agreement aimed at pushing past the drawn-out deadlock between the U.S. and Iran, U.S. officials and another source familiar with the matter tell ABC News.
Iranian negotiators previously gave verbal assurances that the regime would ultimately agree to certain terms related to Iran’s nuclear program, but the president determined during a meeting in the Situation Room on Friday that those commitments were not strong enough, the sources said.
During testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio shared some detail on what the Trump administration wanted to see from Iran before moving forward.
"They have to commit to very specific negotiations on highly enriched -- the disposition of the highly enriched uranium that still is buried deepin a mountain somewhere," Rubio said. "They have to agree on negotiating severe and long-term limitations and/or cancellation of enric…

As US President Donald Trump halted the scheduled military strikes on Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was reportedly not informed in advance, leaving him blindsided. Netanyahu, in a statement on Friday, said that he and Trump are in “full agreement” not to let Iran acquire nuclear weapons.
Despite Trump's repeated claims that Tehran has agreed to give up its enriched uranium, Iranian state media on Friday reported that the Islamic Republic would continue to have the right over enriched uranium under any US deal. It also stated that the control over the Strait of Hormuz will be maintained by Tehran.
Not the first time
"The strait will officially open as soon as we sign, which could be soon, very soon, maybe over the weekend in Europe," Trump said, adding Vice President JD Vance could sign for the United States.
When asked if Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei approved the deal, Trump said: "I understand the answer is yes."

Summary
President Donald Trump faces mounting criticism from both Republicans and Democrats over a potential Iran peace deal that may fall short of his original war aims.
The proposed agreement would reopen the Strait of Hormuz but leave Iran's nuclear program largely unresolved, according to critics.
Trump's political challenges intensify as gas prices rise and his approval ratings decline ahead of midterm elections.
AI-generated summary was reviewed by a CNN editor.
The best hope for ending a poorly planned war, which started with scant consultation with Congress or the American people, may be an unsatisfactory peace that leaves critical issues to be resolved later and deepens Washington strife.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly said a deal to halt the conflict he chose against Iran is imminent and very close. Each time, his predict…

Bottom Line Up Front
President Trump’s meeting with his national security team in the White House Situation Room on Friday fueled expectations that he would endorse awar-endingmemorandum of understanding (MOU) that U.S. and Iranian negotiators said had been mostly completed.In the days preceding, a flurry of high-level U.S. and Iranian meetings and conversations with key regional mediators, including Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff Asim Munir and senior Qatari government leaders, had raised expectations that both sides had finalized an MOU. The document is to serve as a framework to guide negotiations on a detailed war-ending accord over a subsequent 60-day period. However, Trump emerged from the two-hour Situation Room meeting on Friday with no update on his “final determination” regarding the MOU draft. TheNew York Timesand other outlets reported late Saturday that Trump had sent the MOU draft back to Iran, demanding an amendment that specifies the timing and extent of Iran’s performance of its nuclear commitments and stipulates clearly that Iran is to …

What to know about the Iran war:
There still appeared to be no decision from President Trump as of Sunday afternoon on whether he would sign off on a potential peace agreement with Iran. Mr. Trump had announced Friday he would be making a "final determination" on a possible deal following a meeting in the White House Situation Room.
Mr. Trump said in a
Truth Social post
the deal must see the Strait of Hormuz reopened, and Iran must work with the U.S. to have its highly enriched uranium "DESTROYED." A source with knowledge of the negotiations said Mr. Trump had made somewhat significant changes to the U.S-Iran memorandum of understanding, with those edits focusing on the Strait of Hormuz and the removal of highly enriched uranium.
The U.S. military disabled a merchant vessel in the Gulf of Oman that was allegedly trying to break through the American blockade of Iranian ports. The U.S. fired a Hellfire missile into the engine of the Gambian-flagged cargo vessel, U.S. Central Command reported.

This, they warn, could lead to protracted and technically intricate follow-up discussions.

US President Donald Trump on Friday said he was now making a "final" decision on whether or not to strike a peace deal with Iran. "I will be meeting now, in the Situation Room, to make a final determination," Trump said in a lengthy social media post, stressing that Iran must agree never to have nuclear weapons and to open the Hormuz shipping lanes. In the post, Trump said that Iran "will complete the immediate removal" of mines in the strait and that the US naval blockade of Iranian ports "will now be lifted," allowing oil and other tankers to start moving.

US President Donald Trump has publicly predicted an imminent deal to end the Iran war at least 38 times since March, according to CNN's tally, with each claim followed by no final agreement.
Get breaking news anytime, anywhere. Download the TOI app now!
The pattern began on March 23, less than a month after US and Israeli strikes on Iran began on February 28. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump announced "major points of agreement, I would say, almost all points of agreement." Iran denied any negotiations were taking place.
Within days, Trump's predictions grew more emphatic. On March 25, he said Iran wanted to "make a deal so badly." On March 26, he claimed Iran was "begging to make a deal" . On March 30, he posted on Truth Social that "great progress has been made," but warned if a deal did not happen shortly, the US would "blow up and completely obliterate all of their Electric Generating Plants".
On April 7, Trump announced a ceasefire, saying the two sides were "very far along" but needed two weeks for "the Agreement to be finalized and consummated". No final agreement followed.

US President Donald Trump has claimed that a "great settlement" has been reached with Iran to end the Middle East war and that the agreement could be signed as early as this weekend, possibly in Europe.
"We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on June 11.
He added, though, that the agreement is still "subject to finalization of documents, which should get done, over the next few days, probably have a signing, maybe in Europe."
Asked by reporters if Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei had approved the deal, Trump said: "I understand the answer is yes."
Trump described the deal as "a very strong memorandum of understanding [MOU]," adding it was "a little conceptual, but it's something that's going to get done."
“We have a deal that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, which was the whole purpose of what we had to go through to get this. So, it's a very big thing,” Trump told reporters.
Trump said he would not be able to attend himself a signing ceremony, but he added that Vice President JD Vance co…

DUBAI/WASHINGTON/PARIS, June 12 (Reuters) - The United States and Iran on Friday appeared to have sharply different understandings of the contents of an emerging pact to end their war, though both sides signalled that an agreement was close.
Pakistan, which has for weeks sought to broker a deal, said a final text of a peace agreement between the United States and Iran had been reached, although there was no immediate confirmation from Washington or Tehran.
"Pakistan is now working closely with both sides to finalise the next steps," Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said in a post on X.

WASHINGTON (TNND) —A potential agreement between the United States and Iran to end the fighting — and ease pressure on global energy markets — appeared to be nearing completion Friday, even as tensions flared over leaked details of the proposed deal.
President Donald Trump said Thursday that a peace deal with Iran could be signed soon, possibly in Europe. (TNND)
President Donald Trump said Thursday that a peace deal with Iran could be signedsoon, possibly in Europe.
Heading into Friday, Iranian state media began leaking what was described as a 14-point plan. The alleged terms included a permanent ceasefire, including with Israel and Lebanon; a $300 billion reconstruction plan for Iranian cities; reopening the Strait of Hormuz under Iranian control; lifting the U.S. naval blockade within 30 days; $24 billion in unfrozen assets for Iran and lifting of sanctions on oil; and 60 more days of negotiations on Iran’s enriched uranium.
The leaked terms prompted an angry response from Trump,who called the Iranians "dishonorable" people on Truth Socialand wrote in part, “The terms that Iran leaked out to the Fake News ha…

Trump claims Iran war settled 'subject to finalization,' expects signing in 'next few days'
PresidentDonald Trumpon Thursday claimed that the U.S. "just made a great settlement of the war with Iran," subject to the "finalization of documents."
Trump said in the Oval Office that he expects a signing to occur "over the next few days," repeating similar claims he has made numerous times over the course of the war.
The Strait of Hormuz, the vital oil-shipping route that has become a major chokepoint during the war, will be reopened as soon as a deal is signed, Trump said.
Earlier, Trump said he canceled an upcoming round of U.S.military strikesagainstIran, claiming that talks with the Islamic Republic "have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved."
Iranian state media outlet Fars, however, reported on Telegram soon after Trump's announcement that Tehran has not approved any text for an initial memorandum of understanding with the U.S.
In a follow-up Telegram post, Fars characterized Trump's move as a tactical retreat from his military threats after he failed to add new details to a draft agreement that Iran had previously put forward.

President Donald Trump says a preliminary agreement to end the war in the Gulf has been signed by the United States and Iran, though both countries say permanent truce is yet to be negotiated.
The agreement on Monday would extend a tenuous ceasefire announced in April by another 60 days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has effectively blocked since the US and Israel attacked Iran in February.
Negotiators would address difficult issues like the future of Iran's nuclear program during the next phase.
"The deal's all signed," Trump said after he arrived in France for a summit of the G7 group of big economies.
He said Vice President JD Vance would attend a formal signing ceremony in Geneva on Friday.
Oil prices fell to their lowest level since March 10, shortly after the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman, cut off one-fifth of the world's oil trade.
The deal is the most significant step yet to resolve the conflict, which has killed at least 7000 people, mostly in Iran and Lebanon, and upended global energy markets. But much about the agreement remains unknown, and whether its provisions differ from the April ceasefire was uncle…

WASHINGTON (TNND) —President Donald Trump said the U.S. is set to sign a new agreement with Iran, noting that the deal would prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, as well as reopen the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping.
The president also issued a warning if the deal falls through.
Trump described the deal as fundamentally different from the 2015 nuclear accord negotiated when former President Barack Obama was in office. Trump has long criticized that deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, arguing it failed to permanently prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
In his social media post, Trump said Iran no longer seeks a nuclear weapon and would not obtain one through "purchase, development, or any other form of procurement." He also said no money would change hands as part of the agreement.

President Donald Trump says a preliminary agreement to end the war in the Gulf has been signed by the United States and Iran, though both countries say permanent truce is yet to be negotiated.
The agreement on Monday would extend a tenuous ceasefire announced in April by another 60 days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has effectively blocked since the US and Israel attacked Iran in February.
Negotiators would address difficult issues like the future of Iran's nuclear program during the next phase.
"The deal's all signed," Trump said after he arrived in France for a summit of the G7 group of big economies.
He said Vice President JD Vance would attend a formal signing ceremony in Geneva on Friday.
Oil prices fell to their lowest level since March 10, shortly after the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman, cut off one-fifth of the world's oil trade.

DUBAI: It has been more than two months since US President Donald Trumpdeclared that a deal with Iran was within reachand announced a ceasefire intended to create space for negotiations.
Since then, Trump has repeatedly insisted that an agreement is just around the corner. Yet despite dozens of public predictions, no final deal has emerged.
According to a CNN analysis, Trump has said at least 38 times since late March that Iran and the United States were close to reaching an agreement or that Tehran was eager to strike a deal.

WASHINGTON (TNND) —A potential agreement between the United States and Iran to end the fighting — and ease pressure on global energy markets — appeared to be nearing completion Friday, even as tensions flared over leaked details of the proposed deal.
President Donald Trump said Thursday that a peace deal with Iran could be signed soon, possibly in Europe. (TNND)
President Donald Trump said Thursday that a peace deal with Iran could be signedsoon, possibly in Europe.
Heading into Friday, Iranian state media began leaking what was described as a 14-point plan. The alleged terms included a permanent ceasefire, including with Israel and Lebanon; a $300 billion reconstruction plan for Iranian cities; reopening the Strait of Hormuz under Iranian control; lifting the U.S. naval blockade within 30 days; $24 billion in unfrozen assets for Iran and lifting of sanctions on oil; and 60 more days of negotiations on Iran’s enriched uranium.
The leaked terms prompted an angry response from Trump,who called the Iranians "dishonorable" people on Truth Socialand wrote in part, “The terms that Iran leaked out to the Fake News ha…
ADMINISTRATION made statement IRANIAN in Islamabad, Islamabad, Pakistan
President Donald Trump has repeatedly said the US and Iran are on the cusp of a deal to end their conflict. The reality has proven more elusive – in part because of the nature of the negotiations themselves.
The latest instance came Thursday (US time), when Trump claimed that a deal was imminent, telling reporters that an agreement could be signed as early as this weekend. Iran rejected Trump’s claims, with its semi-official Fars news agency reporting that the regime’s leaders had not approved any text with the US.
While Trump’s penchant for overstatement, threats and enticements helps explain the confusion on the state of the negotiations, there’s another reason a deal has been so hard to reach: the unwieldy way in which the US and Iran are actually carrying out their negotiations.
US officials, analysts and people familiar with the matter say the negotiations are less actual talks and more a cumbersome process in which messages take days to move back and forth. The people asked not to be identified discussing the format of talks that have taken place well outside the spotlight.
Proposals from American negotiators wind their way through a circuitous diplomatic path, often invo…

WASHINGTON (TNND) —The Trump administration is touting a newly announced agreement with Iran as a major diplomatic breakthrough, ending direct hostilities between the two countries and opening the door to broader negotiations. But while the deal establishes a framework for future talks, many of the most contentious issues between Washington and Tehran remain unresolved.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth argued the administration's military and economic pressure campaign helped bring Iran to the negotiating table. (TNND)
President Donald Trump announced the agreement Thursday following days of negotiations, describing it as an important step toward stability in the Middle East after weeks of escalating tensions.
The memorandum of understanding includes an immediate ceasefire between the United States and Iran, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping and limited sanctions relief for Tehran. The agreement also provides access to some frozen Iranian assets and establishes a 60-day negotiating window to reach a more comprehensive accord.

Trump's Iran deal ends war but leaves Tehran stronger
Trump's Iran deal ends war but leaves Tehran stronger
After weeks of on-again, off-again negotiations, US President Donald Trump finally seems to have secured an agreement from the Iranian regime to end the war that has roiled the region – and global energy markets – since late February.
Just what’s been agreed to, however, will likely remain contested until the deal is expected to be signed on Friday.
Spurred on by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump launched the war on February 28 with the goal of toppling the Iranian regime and making Tehran capitulate – much as he had done in Venezuela.
However, he could not achieve this goal in the face of Tehran’s robust defensive response. Under enormous domestic and international pressure, Trump ultimately decided he had to take the diplomatic resolution available to him to end the conflict as quickly as he could.
The “memorandum of understanding” that Washington and Tehran have just announced is a confirmation of this reality.
It will leave Iran in a stronger position than before the war, the US with far less leverage in the region, and Israel in the lurch. The deal will also prompt the Arab states in the Persian Gulf to reas…

A memorandum between the United States and Iran to halt the war in the Gulf could be signed as soon as Sunday, a Western source says, with Geneva emerging as the likeliest venue.
The source said language in the memorandum was still being finalised and Iran was sticking to its position that the deal must also end fighting in Lebanon, where Israel has been battling against the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia.
The aim was to finalise the wording by Saturday so the agreement could be signed by US Vice-President JD Vance and Iran's parliament speaker Mohammed Baqer Qalibaf.
No venue had been established but Geneva was emerging as the likeliest.
Trump said on Thursday he was calling off new strikes on Iran because the deal was now ready.
"We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran," Trump told reporters in the White House on Thursday.
But the terms of the deal as described on Friday by Iranian officials appear to offer Tehran much of what it has demanded, with Trump appearing to win little of what he has sought, beyond the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran shut after he ordered attacks in February.

Trump declared only 11 weeks ago that “there will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER." Today, the deal he is hailing as groundbreaking isn’t a nuclear deal. It isn’t a missile deal. It's a desperate effort to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and lower fuel prices for Americans.

The source said language in the memorandum was still being finalised and Iran was sticking to its position that the deal must also end fighting in Lebanon, where Israel has been battling against the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia.
The aim was to finalise the wording by Saturday so the agreement could be signed by US Vice-President JD Vance and Iran's parliament speaker Mohammed Baqer Qalibaf.
No venue had been established but Geneva was emerging as the likeliest.
Trump said on Thursday he was calling off new strikes on Iran because the deal was now ready.
"We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran," Trump told reporters in the White House on Thursday.
But the terms of the deal as described on Friday by Iranian officials appear to offer Tehran much of what it has demanded, with Trump appearing to win little of what he has sought, beyond the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran shut after he ordered attacks in February.

U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Iran is taking "too long to negotiate a deal" and that "now they will have to pay the price."
What that means for Tehran wasn't clear.
His latest statement came after the U.S. launched airstrikes early Wednesday against Iran after Trump blamed Tehran for the crash of an American attack helicopter. Iran fired back at countries in the region.

Trump says Israel to dial back fighting in Lebanon after Iran threatens to end peace talks
Efforts to negotiate an end to the Middle East war appeared mired in uncertainty on Monday, with Iran-linked media reporting that Tehran had suspended contact with Washington over Israel’s expanding offensive in Lebanon even as US President Donald Trump insisted talks were continuing “at a rapid pace” and claimed to have helped broker a halt to fighting between Israel and Hezbollah.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — President Donald Trump said Monday on social media that Iran had requested a meeting with U.S. counterparts, though Iranian officials said no such meeting was scheduled.
The U.S. president has tried to preserve an increasingly fragile interim deal as hostilities have mounted in the Strait of Hormuz in recent days, which could cause oil prices to rise and undermine Trump’s claims to voters that inflation in America was easing.
Trump said the meeting with Iran would happen on Tuesday in Doha, Qatar.
Earlier on Monday, Iran’s president said that $6 billion in frozen Iranian assets would be released by Qatar, as negotiations with the United States were challenged byattacks across the Persian Gulf this weekend.
Masoud Pezeshkian’smention of the funds appeared aimed at selling the Iranian public on the interim deal, particularly as its grip on the Strait of Hormuz has been tested by efforts to open Oman’s territorial waters to both inbound and outbound traffic from the Persian Gulf.
Iran’s attacks and threats stopped cargo ships and tankers from moving through the strait, in wh…

President Donald Trump says a preliminary agreement to end the war in the Gulf has been signed by the United States and Iran, though both countries say permanent truce is yet to be negotiated.
President Donald Trump says a preliminary agreement to end the war in the Gulf has been signed by the United States and Iran, though both countries say permanent truce is yet to be negotiated.
The agreement on Monday would extend a tenuous ceasefire announced in April by another 60 days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has effectively blocked since the US and Israel attacked Iran in February.
Negotiators would address difficult issues like the future of Iran's nuclear program during the next phase.
"The deal's all signed," Trump said after he arrived in France for a summit of the G7 group of big economies.
He said Vice President JD Vance would attend a formal signing ceremony in Geneva on Friday.
Oil prices fell to their lowest level since March 10, shortly after the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman, cut off one-fifth of the world's oil trade.
The deal is the most significant step yet to resolve the conflict, which has killed at least 7000 people, mostly in Iran and Lebanon, and upended global energy markets. But much about the agreement remains unknown, and whether its provisions differ from the April ceasefire was uncle…

PresidentDonald Trumpon Tuesday signaled that he's open to sending details of the agreement withIranto members ofCongress, as lawmakers from both parties are raising questions, asking to see the accord and saying they should vote on any final deal.
Arriving at a bilateral meeting in France withUnited Arab EmiratesPresidentMohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Trump said he wouldn't mind sending thememorandum of understandingto Congress for review. He did not indicate when Congress might receive the details. The framework was announced and signed digitally on Sunday and could bring an end to the hostilities between theU.S.and Iran that began in February.
"What I would like to do is send it to Congress and say 'you shouldn't approve it.' And they will approve it," Trump said, apparently joking. He is in Évian-les-Bains, France for the 2026 G7 summit.

WASHINGTON (TNND) —New details emerged about a memorandum of understanding between the United States andIranon the last day of theG7 summit, as President Donald Trump defended the agreement while warning that fighting could resume at any moment.
The president downplayed concerns about Iran receiving billions of dollars through the financing plan and oil sales, while emphasizing that a final deal needs to be reached in the next 60 days. Those 60 days is also expected to focus on disagreements over Iran’s current nuclear program. (TNND)

"We never asked for a ceasefire, and we have never asked even for negotiation,"

US President Donald Trump has rejected the suggestion the United States has made major concessions to Iran while a senior US official called an emerging pact "performance-based" with Iran getting no frozen assets until its part of the agreement is fulfilled.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said Iran's leaked comments on a deal with the United States do not represent what has been agreed to in writing.
"What they said, including their weak and pathetic statement on having a deal, bears no relation to the truth. Very dishonourable people to deal with. With them, there is no such thing as dealing in good faith. AMAZING!," he wrote on Truth Social.
Iran's version of the deal as outlined by the IRNA news agency said the United States will release part of Iran's frozen assets immediately after the deal is signed with the remainder freed gradually during further negotiations.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly said the US and Iran are on the cusp of a deal to end their conflict. The reality has proven more elusive – in part because of the nature of the negotiations themselves.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly said the US and Iran are on the cusp of a deal to end their conflict. The reality has proven more elusive – in part because of the nature of the negotiations themselves.
The latest instance came Thursday (US time), when Trump claimed that a deal was imminent, telling reporters that an agreement could be signed as early as this weekend. Iran rejected Trump’s claims, with its semi-official Fars news agency reporting that the regime’s leaders had not approved any text with the US.
While Trump’s penchant for overstatement, threats and enticements helps explain the confusion on the state of the negotiations, there’s another reason a deal has been so hard to reach: the unwieldy way in which the US and Iran are actually carrying out their negotiations.
US officials, analysts and people familiar with the matter say the negotiations are less actual talks and more a cumbersome process in which messages take days to move back and forth. The people asked not to be identified discussing the format of talks that have taken place well outside the spotlight.
Proposals from American negotiators wind their way through a circuitous diplomatic path, often invo…

A memorandum between the United States and Iran to halt the war in the Gulf could be signed as soon as Sunday, a Western source told Reuters on Friday, with Geneva emerging as the likeliest venue.
The source said language in the memorandum was still being finalised and Iran was sticking to its position that the deal must also end fighting in Lebanon, where Israel has been battling against the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia.
The aim was to finalise the wording by Saturday so the agreement could be signed by US Vice President JD Vance and Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammed Baqer Qalibaf. No venue had been established but Geneva was emerging as the likeliest.
Trump said on Thursday he was calling off new strikes on Iran because the deal was now ready.
“We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran,” Trump told reporters in the White House on Thursday.
But the terms of the deal as described on Friday by Iranian officials appear to offer Tehran much of what it has demanded so far, with Trump appearing to win little of what he has sought, beyond the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran shut after he ordered attacks in February.

WASHINGTON (TNND) —New details emerged about a memorandum of understanding between the United States andIranon the last day of theG7 summit, as President Donald Trump defended the agreement while warning that fighting could resume at any moment.
The president downplayed concerns about Iran receiving billions of dollars through the financing plan and oil sales, while emphasizing that a final deal needs to be reached in the next 60 days. Those 60 days is also expected to focus on disagreements over Iran’s current nuclear program. (TNND)

President Donald Trump has repeatedly said the US and Iran are on the cusp of a deal to end their conflict. The reality has proven more elusive – in part because of the nature of the negotiations themselves.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly said the US and Iran are on the cusp of a deal to end their conflict. The reality has proven more elusive – in part because of the nature of the negotiations themselves.
The latest instance came Thursday (US time), when Trump claimed that a deal was imminent, telling reporters that an agreement could be signed as early as this weekend. Iran rejected Trump’s claims, with its semi-official Fars news agency reporting that the regime’s leaders had not approved any text with the US.
While Trump’s penchant for overstatement, threats and enticements helps explain the confusion on the state of the negotiations, there’s another reason a deal has been so hard to reach: the unwieldy way in which the US and Iran are actually carrying out their negotiations.
US officials, analysts and people familiar with the matter say the negotiations are less actual talks and more a cumbersome process in which messages take days to move back and forth. The people asked not to be identified discussing the format of talks that have taken place well outside the spotlight.

Trump says US-Iran deal will keep Strait of Hormuz 'permanently toll-free'
US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the memorandum of understanding reached with Iran would ensure the
Strait of Hormuz
remains "permanently toll-free," and warned that Washington would resume military strikes on Tehran if a final nuclear accord was not concluded, according to an interview with The New York Times.
Trump announced the deal on Truth Social, saying "The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete," and authorised the "toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz" and the "immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade."

HUNT VALLEY, Md. (TNND) —President Donald Trump denied Tuesday that his hawkish Republican ally, Senator Lindsey Graham, is doubtful of Iran’s perception of its peace treaty with the U.S.
The South Carolina lawmaker expressedconcernSunday over the potential discrepancy between Tehran’s understanding of the agreement and the Trump administration’s messaging. The president has claimed that Iran is in agreement to end its nuclear program, a major issue the two delegations will reportedly negotiate over the summer.
“I’ll have to talk to Lindsey. He’ll be in big trouble,” Trump joked to reporters in France, where he's attending the G7 summit of world powers. “Lindsey’s good. Lindsey’s fine. He’s not skeptical. He’s just fine.”
Graham said in an X post he would follow the negotiations over Iran’s nuclear capabilities, which the two delegations reportedly plan to address in the 60 days after their Friday treaty signing. The Trump administration, he added, should brief Congress on the agreement’s terms since any nuclear deal with Tehran requires a review on Capitol Hill.

President Donald Trump says a preliminary agreement to end the war in the Gulf has been signed by the United States and Iran, though both countries say permanent truce is yet to be negotiated.
President Donald Trump says a preliminary agreement to end the war in the Gulf has been signed by the United States and Iran, though both countries say permanent truce is yet to be negotiated.
The agreement on Monday would extend a tenuous ceasefire announced in April by another 60 days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has effectively blocked since the US and Israel attacked Iran in February.
Negotiators would address difficult issues like the future of Iran's nuclear program during the next phase.
"The deal's all signed," Trump said after he arrived in France for a summit of the G7 group of big economies.
He said Vice President JD Vance would attend a formal signing ceremony in Geneva on Friday.
Oil prices fell to their lowest level since March 10, shortly after the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman, cut off one-fifth of the world's oil trade.
The deal is the most significant step yet to resolve the conflict, which has killed at least 7000 people, mostly in Iran and Lebanon, and upended global energy markets. But much about the agreement remains unknown, and whether its provisions differ from the April ceasefire was uncle…

President Donald Trump expressed uncertainty Wednesday about whether his much-touted US-Iran agreement will be signed Friday, cautioning, “You never know with deals.” Still, he said he expects the “very strong” accord will be signed in Switzerland.
President Donald Trump repeatedly expressed sympathy for Lebanon while criticizing Israel, calling it a source of tension with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Speaking at a news conference as the G7 comes to a close, President Donald Trump says he “might” stick around in Europe for the signing of his Iran deal in Switzerland and jokes that if the agreement is a failure, he’s blaming his Vice President JD Vance.

WASHINGTON (TNND) —The Trump administration is touting a newly announced agreement with Iran as a major diplomatic breakthrough, ending direct hostilities between the two countries and opening the door to broader negotiations. But while the deal establishes a framework for future talks, many of the most contentious issues between Washington and Tehran remain unresolved.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth argued the administration's military and economic pressure campaign helped bring Iran to the negotiating table. (TNND)
President Donald Trump announced the agreement Thursday following days of negotiations, describing it as an important step toward stability in the Middle East after weeks of escalating tensions.
The memorandum of understanding includes an immediate ceasefire between the United States and Iran, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping and limited sanctions relief for Tehran. The agreement also provides access to some frozen Iranian assets and establishes a 60-day negotiating window to reach a more comprehensive accord.
Iran reaffirmed that it will not pursue nuclear weapons …

WASHINGTON — As President Donald Trump’s team was actively working behind the scenes over Memorial Day weekend to deliver an Iran peace deal, the president’s own social posts left a trail of confusion.

It started late Saturday afternoon, following a call with 10 Arab leaders amid a flurry of questions about the state of the talks.
Trump posted
to Truth Social that a peace deal with Iran was “largely negotiated” and “will be announced shortly.”
Reporters scrambled to pull together plans on how to cover the deal once it emerged, but no announcement came.

Trump Cancels Iran Strikes, Touts Imminent Deal
US President Donald Trump withdrew his threat of further strikes against Iran on Thursday and said a deal with Tehran to end the war could be signed in coming days.
Trump's announcement fueled a stock market rally and tanked oil prices, although Iran's position remained unclear, with foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei saying Tehran "had not reached a final conclusion on the agreement”, AFP reported.
Claiming that talks with Iran had been "brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved," Trump said he had "cancelled the scheduled strikes and bombings against Iran this evening."
"Time and place of the signing to be announced shortly," he promised.
He said the finer points of the arrangement had been approved by the United States and its allies in the region, including Israel, with which Washington jointly launched the war in February.
The Tasnim news agency noted that Trump had announced a deal was imminent 38 times in the previous two months.
"Until Iran announces the matter of a potential understanding, any news from Trump on this subject should be regarded the same as his previous messaging," it warned.

WASHINGTON (TNND) —President Donald Trump teased on Tuesday that he will hold a news conference and read the 60-day Iran ceasefire deal word-for-word "in a couple of days."
His comments came during a bilateral meeting with United Arab Emirates President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan at theG7 summit in France. Trump said he was waiting for a "formal setting" to release the full text.
“I'll not only release it — I'll probably have a press conference and read it to you word by word, so that the press covers it accurately,” Trump said, while calling it a complete reversal of former President Barack Obama's deal.
Vice President JD Vancesaid Monday that he expected the text of the memorandum, which has already been signed digitally, to be released this week. Swiss Foreign Ministry said a signing ceremony will take place on Friday at Bürgenstock resort near Luzern. Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and the president's son-in-law Jared Kushner will lead the American delegation.

A memorandum between the United States and Iran to halt the war in the Gulf could be signed as soon as Sunday, a Western source says, with Geneva emerging as the likeliest venue.
The source said language in the memorandum was still being finalised and Iran was sticking to its position that the deal must also end fighting in Lebanon, where Israel has been battling against the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia.
The aim was to finalise the wording by Saturday so the agreement could be signed by US Vice-President JD Vance and Iran's parliament speaker Mohammed Baqer Qalibaf.
No venue had been established but Geneva was emerging as the likeliest.
Trump said on Thursday he was calling off new strikes on Iran because the deal was now ready.
"We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran," Trump told reporters in the White House on Thursday.
But the terms of the deal as described on Friday by Iranian officials appear to offer Tehran much of what it has demanded, with Trump appearing to win little of what he has sought, beyond the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran shut after he ordered attacks in February.

But the terms of the deal as described on Friday by Iranian officials appear to offer Tehran much of what it has demanded, with Trump appearing to win little of what he has sought, beyond the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran shut after he ordered attacks in February.

US has 'every intent of getting' Iran deal done Sunday: Ambassador ...
Trump said Saturday a deal will be signed on Sunday.
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz said that while he didn't want to get ahead of an announcement, President Donald Trump still "has every intent for" the preliminary framework of apeace deal with Iranto be signed Sunday.
"How will this [signing] work, and how confident are you that it will happen today?" asked ABC's "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz.
"Well, the president has every intent for it to happen. I'll leave the actual details and timing to the White House. The Iranians are incredibly difficult negotiators, coupled -- coupled with the fact that they're having a very hard time getting guidance from their supreme leader, and they're not always on the same page within their team," Waltz said.
But still, the ambassador insisted Trump and U.S. negotiators are "confident" the deal will happen.
"They have every intent of getting this done today," he said.

US President Donald Trump has rejected the suggestion the United States has made major concessions to Iran while a senior US official called an emerging pact "performance-based" with Iran getting no frozen assets until its part of the agreement is fulfilled.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said Iran's leaked comments on a deal with the United States do not represent what has been agreed to in writing.
"What they said, including their weak and pathetic statement on having a deal, bears no relation to the truth. Very dishonourable people to deal with. With them, there is no such thing as dealing in good faith. AMAZING!," he wrote on Truth Social.

President Donald Trump says a preliminary agreement to end the war in the Gulf has been signed by the United States and Iran, though both countries say permanent truce is yet to be negotiated.
The agreement on Monday would extend a tenuous ceasefire announced in April by another 60 days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has effectively blocked since the US and Israel attacked Iran in February.
Negotiators would address difficult issues like the future of Iran's nuclear program during the next phase.
"The deal's all signed," Trump said after he arrived in France for a summit of the G7 group of big economies.
He said Vice President JD Vance would attend a formal signing ceremony in Geneva on Friday.
Oil prices fell to their lowest level since March 10, shortly after the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman, cut off one-fifth of the world's oil trade.
The deal is the most significant step yet to resolve the conflict, which has killed at least 7000 people, mostly in Iran and Lebanon, and upended global energy markets. But much about the agreement remains unknown, and whether its provisions differ from the April ceasefire was uncle…

WASHINGTON (TNND) —President DonaldTrump said the U.S. is set to sign a new agreement with Iran, noting that the deal would prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, as well as "immediately" reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The president said the deal is "the exact opposite" from the 2015 nuclear accord negotiated when former President Barack Obama was in office. He has long criticized that deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, arguing it failed to permanently prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
In his social media post, Trump said Iran no longer seeks a nuclear weapon and would not obtain one through "purchase, development, or any other form of procurement." He also said no money would change hands as part of the agreement.
Trump also said nuclear material remaining in Iran would eventually be removed and destroyed.
Trump issued a warning if the deal falls through.
Trump on Thursday said he was"pretty confident" the U.S. is close to reaching a deal, adding that a formal agreement might be signed within days. He said the documents were almost finished and that the deal sh…

OSLO—You’d be forgiven if the past week of statements and strikes by and between Iran, the United States, Israel, and Hezbollah have given you a sense of whiplash. The capricious behavior and comments by all parties do not inspire confidence. But in its own way, the past week has been clarifying. The possibility of a full-scale war is diminishing, as is the likelihood that US President Donald Trump will simply wash his hands of the situation and walk away.
Either outcome remains a possibility, of course, but the most likely outcome is increasingly that of an initial Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) coming to fruition that invokes a permanent ceasefire. The key datapoint here isn’t anyone’s statement or tweet. It’s that despite the Strait of Hormuz continuing to be ostensibly closed and missile and drone strikes being launched across targets in Iran, the Gulf, Israel, and Lebanon, negotiations between Washington and Tehran have con…

The United States and Iran have signed an interim deal to end their war,
setting the table for two months of talks
aimed at resolving long-standing disputes.
President Donald Trump presented the agreement on Wednesday as a “major win” for the US, extending the ceasefire agreement in place since April so the two sides can address the ongoing issue of Iran’s nuclear programme.
Iran’s top negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, however, has
called the memorandum of understanding (MoU) a victory for Tehran
.
“Everything we sought to achieve through military action, we obtained several times over through negotiation,” he boasted on state TV, just as Trump faced growing criticism at home and abroad
for giving Iran too much after starting a deeply unpopular war in February

If they behave, if they do a good job, we start talking. Yeah.”Trump also said that he was not demanding that Lebanon be a part of a short-term deal with Tehran. “I think they’d like to see it, but I’m not demanding,” Trump said in the interview recorded on Friday.US and Israeli forces began strikes on Iran on February 28. The Trump administration has been trying to negotiate a potential peace deal for weeks.“We’re very close to a deal, or I’m going to blow the hell out of them,” Trump told NBC News. The president also said he would be willing to speak with Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, who has not been seen in public since being wounded in US strikes at the beginning of the conflict.“I don’t want to say whether or not I know where he is, but there’s a good probability that I do,” Trump said.…

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Monday that Tehran will honor its commitments under the memorandum of understanding with the United States if Washington upholds its end of the agreement, as the two sides prepared for expected high-level discussions in Doha after a weekend flare-up in the Strait of Hormuz briefly threatened the ceasefire.
“Mutual understanding is a two-way street. If the American side adheres to the agreement, we will also fulfill our commitments,” Pezeshkian
wrote
on X, adding that Iran’s response to what he described as “unreasonable saber-rattling and baseless threats” would be guided by “rationality and human dignity in decision-making,” while remaining prepared to “defend decisively and fearlessly when it comes time to act.”
Pezeshkian’s remarks came as Washington and Tehran sought to resume diplomatic contacts after a weekend flare-up briefly threatened the memorandum. President Donald Trump

Iranian state media reported Iran was halting peace negotiations with the U.S. and might end the ceasefire. Trump told an NBC reporter that he had not heard from Iran. He later said in a CNBC interview that the peace talks had “started to get very boring” and that he did not care if they were over.
BREAKING: Trump has offered Iran, in two weeks, the concept of a framework for a temporary memorandum of understanding outlining parameters to begin negotiations.
PRESIDENT expressed intent to cooperate IRAN in Tehran, Tehran, Iran
A memorandum between the United States and Iran to halt the war in the Gulf could be signed as soon as Sunday, a Western source says, with Geneva emerging as the likeliest venue.
The source said language in the memorandum was still being finalised and Iran was sticking to its position that the deal must also end fighting in Lebanon, where Israel has been battling against the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia.
The aim was to finalise the wording by Saturday so the agreement could be signed by US Vice-President JD Vance and Iran's parliament speaker Mohammed Baqer Qalibaf.
No venue had been established but Geneva was emerging as the likeliest.
Trump said on Thursday he was calling off new strikes on Iran because the deal was now ready.
"We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran," Trump told reporters in the White House on Thursday.
But the terms of the deal as described on Friday by Iranian officials appear to offer Tehran much of what it has demanded, with Trump appearing to win little of what he has sought, beyond the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran shut after he ordered attacks in February.

US-Iran deal: In-person signing scrapped, Tehran urges caution
US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that the agreement with Iran is set to be signed Sunday, and that signing it would lead to theStrait of Hormuz reopening.Trump said the deal “is scheduled to get signed tomorrow,” according to CNN.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) denied that any signing was planned for Sunday and criticised Trump for focusing on that date. This is the latest case of the US and Iran giving different versions of events during days of fast-moving talks.
Plans for an in-person signing have been dropped officials familiar with the matter. Last week, Trump had said he expected the signing to take place in Europe, with Vice President JD Vance representing the US. Those plans did not go ahead.
Officials told CNN the change came down to scheduling. The US president and vice president do not travel abroad at the same time, for security reasons, and Trump leaves for the G7 summit in France early Monday.

Trump’s latest stand suggests the draft Iran deal was too vague on nuclear limits for Washington’s comfort. The fight is now over verification, uranium stockpiles, enrichment caps and enforcement. Ceasefire diplomacy may survive, but the hardest negotiations are only beginning.
President Donald Trump says a preliminary agreement to end the war in the Gulf has been signed by the United States and Iran, though both countries say permanent truce is yet to be negotiated.
President Donald Trump says a preliminary agreement to end the war in the Gulf has been signed by the United States and Iran, though both countries say permanent truce is yet to be negotiated.
The agreement on Monday would extend a tenuous ceasefire announced in April by another 60 days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has effectively blocked since the US and Israel attacked Iran in February.
Negotiators would address difficult issues like the future of Iran's nuclear program during the next phase.
"The deal's all signed," Trump said after he arrived in France for a summit of the G7 group of big economies.
He said Vice President JD Vance would attend a formal signing ceremony in Geneva on Friday.
Oil prices fell to their lowest level since March 10, shortly after the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman, cut off one-fifth of the world's oil trade.
The deal is the most significant step yet to resolve the conflict, which has killed at least 7000 people, mostly in Iran and Lebanon, and upended global energy markets. But much about the agreement remains unknown, and whether its provisions differ from the April ceasefire was uncle…

WASHINGTON (TNND) —The Trump administration is touting a newly announced agreement with Iran as a major diplomatic breakthrough, ending direct hostilities between the two countries and opening the door to broader negotiations. But while the deal establishes a framework for future talks, many of the most contentious issues between Washington and Tehran remain unresolved.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth argued the administration's military and economic pressure campaign helped bring Iran to the negotiating table. (TNND)
President Donald Trump announced the agreement Thursday following days of negotiations, describing it as an important step toward stability in the Middle East after weeks of escalating tensions.
The memorandum of understanding includes an immediate ceasefire between the United States and Iran, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping and limited sanctions relief for Tehran. The agreement also provides access to some frozen Iranian assets and establishes a 60-day negotiating window to reach a more comprehensive accord.
Iran reaffirmed that it will not pursue nuclear weapons …

WASHINGTON (TNND) —President DonaldTrump said the U.S. is set to sign a new agreement with Iran, noting that the deal would prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, as well as "immediately" reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The president said the deal is "the exact opposite" from the 2015 nuclear accord negotiated when former President Barack Obama was in office. He has long criticized that deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, arguing it failed to permanently prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
In his social media post, Trump said Iran no longer seeks a nuclear weapon and would not obtain one through "purchase, development, or any other form of procurement." He also said no money would change hands as part of the agreement.
Trump also said nuclear material remaining in Iran would eventually be removed and destroyed.
Trump issued a warning if the deal falls through.
Trump on Thursday said he was"pretty confident" the U.S. is close to reaching a deal, adding that a formal agreement might be signed within days. He said the documents were almost finished and that the deal sh…

WASHINGTON (TNND) —A potential agreement between the United States and Iran to end the fighting — and ease pressure on global energy markets — appeared to be nearing completion Friday, even as tensions flared over leaked details of the proposed deal.
President Donald Trump said Thursday that a peace deal with Iran could be signed soon, possibly in Europe. (TNND)
President Donald Trump said Thursday that a peace deal with Iran could be signedsoon, possibly in Europe.
Heading into Friday, Iranian state media began leaking what was described as a 14-point plan. The alleged terms included a permanent ceasefire, including with Israel and Lebanon; a $300 billion reconstruction plan for Iranian cities; reopening the Strait of Hormuz under Iranian control; lifting the U.S. naval blockade within 30 days; $24 billion in unfrozen assets for Iran and lifting of sanctions on oil; and 60 more days of negotiations on Iran’s enriched uranium.
The leaked terms prompted an angry response from Trump,who called the Iranians "dishonorable" people on Truth Socialand wrote in part, “The terms that Iran leaked out to the Fake News ha…

GENEVA engaged diplomatically UNITED STATES in Tehran, Tehran, Iran
A memorandum between the United States and Iran to halt the war in the Gulf could be signed as soon as Sunday, a Western source says, with Geneva emerging as the likeliest venue.
The source said language in the memorandum was still being finalised and Iran was sticking to its position that the deal must also end fighting in Lebanon, where Israel has been battling against the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia.
The aim was to finalise the wording by Saturday so the agreement could be signed by US Vice-President JD Vance and Iran's parliament speaker Mohammed Baqer Qalibaf.
No venue had been established but Geneva was emerging as the likeliest.
Trump said on Thursday he was calling off new strikes on Iran because the deal was now ready.
"We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran," Trump told reporters in the White House on Thursday.
But the terms of the deal as described on Friday by Iranian officials appear to offer Tehran much of what it has demanded, with Trump appearing to win little of what he has sought, beyond the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran shut after he ordered attacks in February.
A senior Iranian source told Reuters on Friday that the d…

AAMER MADHANI, Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump will meet with his Cabinet on Wednesday at a precarious moment for talks aimed at ending the war with Iran, just days after insisting that his administration and Tehran had “largely negotiated” a settlement but with the negotiations still in a state of flux.
As he prepares to huddle with his top aides, Trump is projecting confidence that he’s closing in on a deal that will reopen
the Strait of Hormuz
and provide him a credible argument that
Iran’s nuclear capability
has been diminished enough to declare victory, winding down a conflict that’s been politically unpopular for Republicans.
But as things stand, Trump also risks finding closure to his war of choice comes with an unsatisfactory ending.
The emerging deal puts off many critical issues to be resolved later and has already exposed the Republican president to fierce criticism — even from some of his own supporters — that Iran’s hard-line leaders will emerge from the conflict battered but emboldened. It all comes to a head just as
the midterm elections

The latest instance came Thursday (US time), when Trump claimed that a deal was imminent, telling reporters that an agreement could be signed as early as this weekend. Iran rejected Trump’s claims, with its semi-official Fars news agency reporting that the regime’s leaders had not approved any text with the US.
While Trump’s penchant for overstatement, threats and enticements helps explain the confusion on the state of the negotiations, there’s another reason a deal has been so hard to reach: the unwieldy way in which the US and Iran are actually carrying out their negotiations.

President Donald Trump says a preliminary agreement to end the war in the Gulf has been signed by the United States and Iran, though both countries say permanent truce is yet to be negotiated.
The agreement on Monday would extend a tenuous ceasefire announced in April by another 60 days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has effectively blocked since the US and Israel attacked Iran in February.
Negotiators would address difficult issues like the future of Iran's nuclear program during the next phase.

Oil prices fell to their lowest level since March 10, shortly after the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman, cut off one-fifth of the world's oil trade.
The deal is the most significant step yet to resolve the conflict, which has killed at least 7000 people, mostly in Iran and Lebanon, and upended global energy markets. But much about the agreement remains unknown, and whether its provisions differ from the April ceasefire was uncle…

Iran pushes back after Trump says Khamenei approved peace deal, insists 'text not final'
Tehran and Washington have been swapping proposals to end the war, which broke out on February 28 and engulfed the Middle East

TEHRAN, IRAN: President
Donald Trump
said a breakthrough peace agreement with
Iran
is close at hand, claiming that Supreme Leader
Mojtaba Khamenei
had approved a draft deal and that a formal signing could happen within days. But Iranian officials quickly pushed back, saying no final decision has been made and key issues remain under review.
The conflicting statements highlight the uncertainty surrounding ongoing negotiations aimed at ending months of tensions between Washington and Tehran. While Trump portrayed the agreement as largely settled, Iranian officials stressed that the proposed text has not yet received final approval from the country's leadership.

The U.S. and Iran Might Actually Have a Deal - The Atlantic
If it feels as though Washington and Tehran have been on the verge of a deal before, it’s because they have. At least 38 times during the months of negotiations to end the war in Iran, President Trump has suggested that an agreement was within reach, only for new disputes, military escalations, or competing narratives to push the finish line further away.
Diplomacy has unfolded against a backdrop of strikes and counterstrikes, threats of wider conflict, and cease-fires that Trump has defined as “shooting in a more moderate manner.” The president has made a stream of public claims that were subsequently contradicted by events, sometimes only hours later. Even today, after senior administration officials said that negotiators have largely settled the text of a memorandum of understanding, the agreement remains unsigned.
The latest proposed deal would combine nuclear restrictions, economic incentives, and a broader regional de-escalation effort. It would specifically address the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz; Iran would end its disruption of shipping traffic and, in exchange, eventually receive access to frozen assets an…

President Donald Trump said Thursday that a peace deal with Iran could be signedsoon, possibly in Europe.
Heading into Friday, Iranian state media began leaking what was described as a 14-point plan. The alleged terms included a permanent ceasefire, including with Israel and Lebanon; a $300 billion reconstruction plan for Iranian cities; reopening the Strait of Hormuz under Iranian control; lifting the U.S. naval blockade within 30 days; $24 billion in unfrozen assets for Iran and lifting of sanctions on oil; and 60 more days of negotiations on Iran’s enriched uranium.

HUNT VALLEY, Md. (TNND) —President Donald Trump denied Tuesday that his hawkish Republican ally, Senator Lindsey Graham, is doubtful of Iran’s perception of its peace treaty with the U.S.
The South Carolina lawmaker expressedconcernSunday over the potential discrepancy between Tehran’s understanding of the agreement and the Trump administration’s messaging. The president has claimed that Iran is in agreement to end its nuclear program, a major issue the two delegations will reportedly negotiate over the summer.
“I’ll have to talk to Lindsey. He’ll be in big trouble,” Trump joked to reporters in France, where he's attending the G7 summit of world powers. “Lindsey’s good. Lindsey’s fine. He’s not skeptical. He’s just fine.”
Graham said in an X post he would follow the negotiations over Iran’s nuclear capabilities, which the two delegations reportedly plan to address in the 60 days after their Friday treaty signing. The Trump administration, he added, should brief Congress on the agreement’s terms since any nuclear deal with Tehran requires a review on Capitol Hill.
“I will be watching closely the ensuing negotiat…
Trump just told his own negotiators “don’t rush” an Iran deal — after three months of war, $5 gas, and nonstop boasting that a ceasefire was “basically done.”

US President Donald Trump can claim a diplomatic victory after reaching an agreement with Iran to end the war in the Middle East, but numerous pitfalls remain and he has lost political capital.The cautious reception to the Sunday announcement of the memorandum of understanding with Iran -- scheduled to be signed in Geneva on Friday -- reflects prevailing skepticism at a time when the war is unpopular due to the soaring oil prices and inflation it has caused.For all the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app.The deal ends nearly four months of conflict, paving the way for negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program and the lifting of sanctions.It effectively extends the current ceasefire by 60 days and provides for the opening of the Strait of Hormuz -- a strategic artery for oil and gas shipments -- before the start of what promise to be extremely sensitive negotiations.Launched on February 28 by the United States and Israel, the war has set the Middle East

WASHINGTON (TNND) —President DonaldTrump said the U.S. is set to sign a new agreement with Iran, noting that the deal would prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, as well as "immediately" reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The president said the deal is "the exact opposite" from the 2015 nuclear accord negotiated when former President Barack Obama was in office. He has long criticized that deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, arguing it failed to permanently prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
In his social media post, Trump said Iran no longer seeks a nuclear weapon and would not obtain one through "purchase, development, or any other form of procurement." He also said no money would change hands as part of the agreement.
Trump also said nuclear material remaining in Iran would eventually be removed and destroyed.
Trump issued a warning if the deal falls through.
Trump on Thursday said he was"pretty confident" the U.S. is close to reaching a deal, adding that a formal agreement might be signed within days. He said the documents were almost finished and that the deal sh…

The US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, testified before the the Senate on June 2 for the first time since the start of the Iran war.
Shawn Thew / EPA
To understand where talks on ending the war between the US and Iran currently stand, all we can confidently assume is that Donald Trump’s pronouncements offer no guide. The US president said an agreement had been
“largely negotiated”
on May 23.
That proposal would have reopened the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for sanctions relief and the unfreezing of Iranian assets. But it would not have immediately extracted concessions on Iran’s nuclear activities and ballistic missile capabilities. In response to backlash from Republican hawks, Trump
subsequently toughened
the US position.
The following week, Trump again claimed he was
“on the verge”
of approving a peace deal and US officials
started briefing that
Iran had made critical concessions. Iranian officials
denied reports they
had accepted major concessions on uranium enrichment or the future of their nuclear programme.
Talks were then suspended on June 1 after Iran protested Israel’s
offensive in Lebanon

US President Donald Trump has rejected the suggestion the United States has made major concessions to Iran while a senior US official called an emerging pact "performance-based" with Iran getting no frozen assets until its part of the agreement is fulfilled.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said Iran's leaked comments on a deal with the United States do not represent what has been agreed to in writing.
"What they said, including their weak and pathetic statement on having a deal, bears no relation to the truth. Very dishonourable people to deal with. With them, there is no such thing as dealing in good faith. AMAZING!," he wrote on Truth Social.
Iran's version of the deal as outlined by the IRNA news agency said the United States will release part of Iran's frozen assets immediately after the deal is signed with the remainder freed gradually during further negotiations.
It says Iran's nuclear program remains untouched.

WASHINGTON (TNND) —A potential agreement between the United States and Iran to end the fighting — and ease pressure on global energy markets — appeared to be nearing completion Friday, even as tensions flared over leaked details of the proposed deal.
President Donald Trump said Thursday that a peace deal with Iran could be signed soon, possibly in Europe. (TNND)
President Donald Trump said Thursday that a peace deal with Iran could be signedsoon, possibly in Europe.
Heading into Friday, Iranian state media began leaking what was described as a 14-point plan. The alleged terms included a permanent ceasefire, including with Israel and Lebanon; a $300 billion reconstruction plan for Iranian cities; reopening the Strait of Hormuz under Iranian control; lifting the U.S. naval blockade within 30 days; $24 billion in unfrozen assets for Iran and lifting of sanctions on oil; and 60 more days of negotiations on Iran’s enriched uranium.
The leaked terms prompted an angry response from Trump,who called the Iranians "dishonorable" people on Truth Socialand wrote in part, “The terms that Iran leaked out to the Fake News h…

― A memorandum between the United States and Iran to halt the war in the Gulf could be signed as soon as Sunday, a Western source told Reuters on Friday, with Geneva emerging as the likeliest venue.
The source said language in the memorandum was still being finalised and Iran was sticking to its position that the deal must also end fighting in Lebanon, where Israel has been battling against the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia.
The aim was to finalise the wording by Saturday so the agreement could be signed by U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammed Baqer Qalibaf. No venue had been established but Geneva was emerging as the likeliest.
Trump said on Thursday he was calling off new strikes on Iran because the deal was now ready.

Iranand theUnited Statesplayed down hopes for an imminent breakthrough in the three-month-old war on Monday, withU.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubiosaying there will either be a good agreement or Washington would deal with the country in "another way."
Rubio told reporters in New Delhi that the U.S. would give diplomacy every chance to succeed before exploring "alternatives", afterPresident Donald Trumpsaid on Sunday he had told his representatives not to rush into any Iran deal.
There was a "pretty solid thing on the table in terms of their ability to open up the strait, get the strait open, enter into a very real, significant, time-limited negotiation on the nuclear matter, and hopefully we can pull it off," Rubio said.
Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on Monday that Iran was negotiating an end to the war and was not currently discussing nuclear issues.
The spokesperson added that a framework had been reached but no one could say an agreement between the United States and Iran was imminent. The potential memorandum of understanding contained no specific details about the management of the…

US President Donald Trump has rejected the suggestion the United States has made major concessions to Iran while a senior US official called an emerging pact "performance-based" with Iran getting no frozen assets until its part of the agreement is fulfilled.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said Iran's leaked comments on a deal with the United States do not represent what has been agreed to in writing.
"What they said, including their weak and pathetic statement on having a deal, bears no relation to the truth. Very dishonourable people to deal with. With them, there is no such thing as dealing in good faith. AMAZING!," he wrote on Truth Social.
Iran's version of the deal as outlined by the IRNA news agency said the United States will release part of Iran's frozen assets immediately after the deal is signed with the remainder freed gradually during further negotiations.
It says Iran's nuclear program remains untouched.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on Friday on X that the memorandum of understanding had "never been closer" but warned against speculation over its contents until it was finalised.

WASHINGTON (TNND) —President Donald Trump said the U.S. is set to sign a new agreement with Iran, noting that the deal would prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, as well as reopen the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping.
The president also issued a warning if the deal falls through.
Trump described the deal as fundamentally different from the 2015 nuclear accord negotiated when former President Barack Obama was in office. Trump has long criticized that deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, arguing it failed to permanently prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
In his social media post, Trump said Iran no longer seeks a nuclear weapon and would not obtain one through "purchase, development, or any other form of procurement." He also said no money would change hands as part of the agreement.
The president also said nuclear material remaining in Iran would eventually be removed and destroyed, though he did not provide specifics about how such a process would occur or wh…

'Let the oil flow!': Can US and Iran actually strike lasting deal?
If Donald Trump calls it a peace deal, does that make it so? 'Let the oil flow,' trumpeted the US president after agreeing on the day of his 80th birthday to a memorandum of understanding with Iran. Trump quick to schedule a signing ceremony - this one next Friday in Switzerland, across from where he’s flown in for a G-Seven summit on the French side of Lake Geneva.
UNITED STATES consulted ISLAMABAD in White House, District of Columbia, United States
President Donald Trump has repeatedly said the US and Iran are on the cusp of a deal to end their conflict. The reality has proven more elusive – in part because of the nature of the negotiations themselves.
The latest instance came Thursday (US time), when Trump claimed that a deal was imminent, telling reporters that an agreement could be signed as early as this weekend. Iran rejected Trump’s claims, with its semi-official Fars news agency reporting that the regime’s leaders had not approved any text with the US.
While Trump’s penchant for overstatement, threats and enticements helps explain the confusion on the state of the negotiations, there’s another reason a deal has been so hard to reach: the unwieldy way in which the US and Iran are actually carrying out their negotiations.
US officials, analysts and people familiar with the matter say the negotiations are less actual talks and more a cumbersome process in which messages take days to move back and forth. The people asked not to be identified discussing the format of talks that have taken place well outside the spotlight.
Proposals from American negotiators wind their way through a circuitous diplomatic path, often invo…
President Donald Trump says a preliminary agreement to end the war in the Gulf has been signed by the United States and Iran, though both countries say permanent truce is yet to be negotiated.
President Donald Trump says a preliminary agreement to end the war in the Gulf has been signed by the United States and Iran, though both countries say permanent truce is yet to be negotiated.
The agreement on Monday would extend a tenuous ceasefire announced in April by another 60 days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has effectively blocked since the US and Israel attacked Iran in February.
Negotiators would address difficult issues like the future of Iran's nuclear program during the next phase.
"The deal's all signed," Trump said after he arrived in France for a summit of the G7 group of big economies.
He said Vice President JD Vance would attend a formal signing ceremony in Geneva on Friday.
Oil prices fell to their lowest level since March 10, shortly after the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman, cut off one-fifth of the world's oil trade.
The deal is the most significant step yet to resolve the conflict, which has killed at least 7000 people, mostly in Iran and Lebanon, and upended global energy markets. But much about the agreement remains unknown, and whether its provisions differ from the April ceasefire was uncle…

Trump said the gift signaled the U.S. is "dealing with the right people."
President Donald Trump on Tuesday said negotiations with Iranian officials were continuing, that "they want to make a deal," and that he received a "present" from Tehran that signaled to him the U.S. is "dealing with the right people."
Trump did not reveal exactly what the "gift" was, but he said it was not "nuclear related" but instead connected to oil, gas and the "flow" through the critical Strait of Hormuz.
"It wasa very significantprize," Trump said in the Oval Office.

ABC News reached out to the White House for more details on the gift touted by Trump.
The comments came ahead of Trump's newly-issued Friday deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
