Trump Claims Iran Nuclear Deal Is Near, Says Agreement Could Be Signed Within Days

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed that the United States and Iran are on the verge of signing a major agreement, raising hopes of easing tensions in the Middle East and reducing concerns over a wider regional conflict.

From the Oval Office, Trump said negotiations with Iran have moved to the last stage and both countries are making the final effort to complete the required documents. The deal could finalized in days, possibly at a meeting in Europe, Trump said.

The new deal between Trump and Iran has gained global interest with investors, political circles, and energy markets watching developments on the Iran nuclear issue and security in the Middle East. Trump stressed that the primary goal of the deal is to “make sure Iran never gets the nuclear bomb.

Earlier, Trump stated on his Truth Social platform that following approval from Iran’s senior leadership, he decided to cancel a planned military strike against Iran. He said that the talks were a serious diplomatic achievement and both sides are keen on reaching a final deal.

When asked whether Iran’s Supreme Leader had approved the proposed deal, Trump responded that, based on the information available to him, the answer was “yes.” But the Iranian government hasn’t officially said that Trump’s claims are accurate.

Trump also announced that once the agreement officially signed, the U.S. naval blockade around the Strait of Hormuz would lifted immediately. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s major oil shipping channels and any move that impacts the waterway could have a significant effect on the price of oil and energy markets to begin with.

Trump discussed the developments in the negotiations, saying Iran had already faced a lot of setbacks but was now more eager to strike a deal than ever before. In recent weeks, he said, Iran has become much more enthusiastic about an agreement.

Governments, financial markets and energy traders are closely watching the potential Iran nuclear deal, which could change security dynamics in the region and affect global oil prices over the next few months.
