Iran SHATTERS Trump’s ‘Deal Soon’ Hype; Admits Progress But Warns Agreement ‘Not Imminent’

Iran has pushed back against claims that a breakthrough deal with the United States is close, cooling speculation fueled by former U.S. President Donald Trump. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said Tehran and Washington have reached conclusions on “a large portion” of disputed issues, but stressed that no one can claim an agreement is imminent. Reports suggest the proposed framework could include a 60-day ceasefire extension, reopening the Strait of Hormuz to global shipping, and fresh negotiations over Iran’s nuclear programme. However, the deal still requires approval from Iran’s top leadership, including Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, potentially delaying any final breakthrough.
