Trump Says Iran Peace Deal Is Near As U.S. Envoys Meet Allies
President Donald Trump said a peace deal to end the war with Iran is near, describing an agreement as “largely negotiated” and suggesting final details are being discussed and could be announced soon.
Trump’s comments were reported across multiple outlets, including The New York Times, USA Today, CBS News, Al Jazeera and The Independent, as part of ongoing live coverage of the conflict. The remarks amount to the most concrete public signal from the U.S. president that talks have advanced to the point of a potential announcement.
In the reporting, Trump said the agreement has been “largely negotiated.” CBS News also reported that Trump said the deal would include reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic shipping lane that is central to global energy and commercial transit.
Al Jazeera reported a separate development from Tehran, saying Iran has warned that a U.S. demand for a “uranium handover” would “kill the deal.” That statement, as described in the reporting, underscored that major points of contention remain even as Trump portrayed the talks as nearing completion.
The available details in the reporting did not specify where negotiations are being held, who is directly participating at the table, or what the full set of terms would be. Several outlets described the situation in similar terms: that the broad outlines are in place and that final elements are still being finalized.
The prospect of a negotiated deal matters because it would mark a potential turning point in a conflict that has drawn intense international attention and raised fears of wider regional instability. Any agreement that addresses maritime access through the Strait of Hormuz would also carry immediate implications for shipping and energy markets, given the waterway’s role as a key chokepoint.
At the same time, the conflicting signals highlighted in the live coverage show how fragile the moment remains. Trump’s assertion that an agreement is close sits alongside Iran’s warning, reported by Al Jazeera, that U.S. demands related to uranium could derail any package under discussion.
What happens next will depend on whether U.S. and Iranian officials can resolve outstanding issues and settle on language both sides are willing to accept. Trump said an announcement could come shortly, according to reports, but no formal timetable or venue for a public rollout was provided in the information cited.
Further statements are expected from Washington and Tehran as negotiations continue, and any final deal would likely be accompanied by clarifications on key provisions, including security arrangements and maritime access in the region.
For now, Trump has put the possibility of a near-term breakthrough at the center of the latest developments, while Iran’s response has made clear that the final outcome is still not settled.
