Trump says Iran is nearing a US deal as talks progress

President Trump says Iran is getting closer to a deal with the US on the conflict, with Iran signaling progress but insisting nuclear weapons won’t be in initial terms; Tehran outlines a 14-point framework and a 30–60 day window to finalise an agreement, while US officials express cautious optimism. The US continues naval blockades around the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran claims control of areas near the strait, though Washington and Gulf allies reject those claims.
