President Donald Trump revealed on Thursday that the United States and Iran were “very close” to finalising a peace deal, with the potential for an agreement in the coming weeks.
Speaking from the White House, Trump told reporters that Tehran had agreed to hand over its stockpile of enriched uranium, a crucial point of contention in nuclear negotiations. The US president said the deal would ensure that Iran would never acquire nuclear weapons, a key objective of the ongoing talks.
“We’re very close to making a deal with Iran,” Trump remarked as he prepared to board his helicopter for a trip to Las Vegas. He added that Iran had agreed to nearly all terms in the discussions, signalling progress toward a potential agreement.
“They’ve totally agreed to that. They’ve agreed to almost everything,” Trump said. “If they can get to the table, there’s a difference.”
Trump also suggested travelling to Pakistan to sign the deal, acknowledging that Islamabad might host the final signing ceremony.
“I might go, yeah. If the deal is signed in Islamabad, I might go,” he confirmed, highlighting the significance of Pakistan’s role in facilitating the negotiations.
The president praised Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and army chief Asim Munir for their efforts to broker peace talks with Iran.
Vice President JD Vance had led a US delegation to Islamabad just days earlier, although talks had ended without any breakthrough.
The White House is now planning a second round of talks, likely to be hosted again in Pakistan.
