Trump touts possible Iran peace deal as Tehran rebuffs final agreement

Trump claimed he could approve a peace deal with Iran that would force Tehran to dismantle its nuclear program, open the Strait of Hormuz to all traffic, and allow the destruction of enriched uranium, while also freeing assets and lifting blockades. Iranian officials quickly signaled that no final agreement had been reached and that negotiations continue, casting doubt on any breakthrough. The divergence in narratives came amid ongoing diplomacy with Pakistan and broader regional tensions, including Israeli actions in Lebanon, as both sides prepared for further talks or renewed conflict.
