Trump eyes potential deal as Iran weighs peace framework

President Trump said talks with Iran over a 14-point peace framework are progressing and Tehran is expected to reply within 24–48 hours to a one-page memorandum of understanding that would pause nuclear enrichment, lift sanctions, and release frozen Iranian funds, with the White House hoping for a breakthrough before his China trip. Some officials remain skeptical a deal will emerge; if no agreement is reached, the administration has warned that military action could resume. Netanyahu has coordinated with Washington, and a recent Israeli strike in Beirut adds tension to the broader crisis.
