Iran has stated that no final agreement has yet been reached with the United States, despite comments by Donald Trump suggesting that a deal could be signed within days, Reuters reported.
Trump expressed optimism that an agreement to end the conflict could be concluded as early as this weekend, potentially paving the way for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping.
However, Iranian officials stressed that discussions remain ongoing. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said that while significant progress has been made and much of the proposed framework has been agreed upon, several key issues remain unresolved.
“We have not reached a final conclusion on this matter,” Baghaei said, noting that the proposal is still being reviewed by the relevant authorities in Tehran.
If finalised, the agreement would represent a significant breakthrough in efforts to end months of hostilities that have unsettled global energy markets and disrupted trade routes.
The latest developments come amid continued tensions, with both sides exchanging strikes in recent days despite an earlier ceasefire announcement, fuelling concerns over a possible escalation.
Iran is seeking the removal of sanctions, access to frozen assets and recognition of its interests in the Strait of Hormuz, while Washington maintains that any agreement must ensure Iran cannot develop nuclear weapons.
Diplomatic contacts remain active as regional and international stakeholders closely monitor the situation.
