- Iran Rejects Trump’s Claim of Imminent Peace Deal Amid Ongoing War Talks
Iran has pushed back against claims by former US President Donald Trump that a peace agreement between Washington and Tehran is on the verge of being signed, insisting that negotiations are still ongoing and no final deal has been reached.
Speaking through the foreign ministry, Tehran acknowledged that significant progress has been made in drafting terms under discussion but stressed that key issues remain unresolved and subject to internal review by Iran’s decision-making authorities.
Officials also maintained that the country will not accept any agreement that compromises its core positions.
The response comes after Trump told reporters at the White House that a breakthrough settlement had been reached and suggested that a formal signing could happen within days, possibly over the weekend in Europe.
He further claimed that parts of the agreement would lead to the reopening of strategic routes and involved multiple regional and international stakeholders.
Trump also stated that high-level discussions had already secured broad approval from several countries, including US allies in the Middle East, and hinted that further military action previously planned had been paused due to diplomatic progress.
However, Iranian officials have consistently urged caution, saying that while talks have advanced in recent weeks, no final conclusion has been agreed upon and negotiations remain sensitive.
The conflicting statements highlight continuing uncertainty around efforts to end a three-month conflict that has already resulted in significant casualties and disruption to global energy markets.
In earlier remarks, Trump had repeatedly suggested that a deal with Iran was imminent, though none has yet materialised.
