US President Donald Trump is again claiming he is on the brink of a peace deal with Iran.

He said the deal would see major concessions, including the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the removal and destruction ​by the United States of Iran’s highly enriched uranium.

However, top Iranian officials have signalled a final agreement has not been reached.

The two versions indicate Trump may be practising his “art of the deal” as he seeks to find an end to a war that has disrupted global energy supplies and rocked the world economy.

“No money will be ​exchanged, ​until further ​notice. Other items, of far ‌less importance, have been agreed to. I will be meeting now, in the Situation Room, to make ​a final determination,” Trump posted on ​Truth Social.

Trump confirmed the high-level White House talks a day after several news outlets reported that US and Iranian negotiators had come to terms on a tentative agreement.

According to a US official familiar with the matter, the tentative agreement would continue the ceasefire in the three-month-old war by 60 days and start a new round of talks on Iran’s disputed nuclear program.

US Vice President JD Vance said on Thursday (US time) that the sides continued to debate “a couple of language points” and he could not say whether Trump would approve the proposal.

Iranian parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf said on Friday on X that his country has “no trust in guarantees or words,” only actions, and “no step will be taken before the other side acts”.

“We do not gain concessions through talks, but through missiles. In negotiations, we only make them understand that,” wrote Qalibaf, who was involved in negotiations in Qatar this week.

“The winner of any agreement is the one who is better prepared for war the day after it is signed.”
