Donald Trump has claimed that a peace deal with Iran could be approved soon, involving major concessions from Tehran, but Iranian officials have rejected any suggestion that a final agreement has been reached.
In a post on Truth Social, the US president said Iran would be required to “never have a nuclear weapon”, open the Strait of Hormuz to all shipping without tolls, remove mines from the waterway and allow US access to destroy highly enriched uranium at a secure nuclear site. He also said frozen Iranian assets would not be released under the proposed arrangement.
Trump further stated he would lift a US naval blockade of Iran, though this would depend on final approval of the agreement. “I will be meeting now, in the Situation Room, to make a final determination,” he wrote.
Iranian officials, however, said negotiations were still ongoing and no deal had been finalised. A foreign ministry spokesperson said exchanges between the two sides were continuing but “no final agreement has been reached yet”.
Iranian state and semi-official media dismissed the claims, saying key issues including the nuclear programme and access through the Strait of Hormuz remained unresolved. They also rejected suggestions that Tehran had agreed to open the waterway without charges or dismantle nuclear material.
Iran’s top negotiator said Tehran had “no trust in guarantees or words only actions are the measure”, adding that the country remained prepared for further conflict if diplomacy failed.
US officials have indicated a deal may be close, though discussions are continuing over whether to proceed with an arrangement that could defer several sensitive issues to future negotiations.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not commented directly on the reported deal, while military operations continue against Hezbollah positions in Lebanon. Iranian officials have accused international institutions of silence over regional developments and blamed the US for supporting Israel’s actions.
According to international media reports, discussions between Washington and Tehran are ongoing, and no formal agreement has been confirmed by either side.
