US President Donald Trump announced that the US-Iran deal was “extensively negotiated” amid a shaky ceasefire.
US-Iran war news live: Raising hopes of a solution soon, US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that there has been “substantial negotiations” on a deal between the US and Iran, which is expected to be announced soon. His comments come amid efforts by Pakistan to hold a crucial dialogue that could potentially calm markets and pave the way for the opening of the Strait of Hormuz.
“An agreement has been substantially negotiated, pending finalization between the United States, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and various other countries,” Trump wrote in a social media post.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump was fired upon near the White House as he worked to negotiate a deal with Iran, news agency AFP reported. The firing comes at a crucial time, when all eyes are on the future of the ongoing US-Iran conflict.
Trump met with advisers at the White House after speaking to the leaders of several regional powers, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Pakistan and Turkey, as well as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about what he called a “peace-related memorandum of understanding,” Bloomberg reported.
Here are some key updates on the US-Iran conflict:
Ceasefire extension possible up to 60 days: The Financial Times said in a report that mediators believe they are reaching an agreement to extend the US-Iran ceasefire for 60 days, which would include the gradual opening of the Strait of Hormuz. However, it still remains to be seen how both sides will proceed on Iran’s nuclear ambitions and its call for sanctions relief.
Rubio’s remarks in India: During his official visit to India, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also hinted that a proposal may be forthcoming. “There has been some progress,” Rubio told reporters Saturday, “and it’s possible an announcement will be made in the coming days,” adding that the US remains opposed to Iran’s nuclear program. “The President’s preference is always to resolve such problems through diplomatic solutions through dialogue,” he reportedly said.
Iran’s main demands: According to the Tasnim news agency, Bloomberg said Iran wants the US to release a “significant part” of its assets blocked abroad as a first step, with a “transparent” process to free the rest.
Trump raised hopes for peace: In his latest remarks, Trump indicated that the US and Iran are getting closer to a solution. In a social media post, he said the deal had been “extensively negotiated” and was yet to be finalized by all parties. The President reportedly said it was “solid 50/50” whether they would resume fighting or reach an agreement, but later told CBS that both sides were getting “very close” to an agreement.
Suspect shot after WH shooting: The US Secret Service reportedly shot dead a man who opened fire near the White House on Sunday while the President was inside during talks on a potential Iran deal. The man was walking on the road for some time when he approached a police post, took out a pistol from his bag and started firing indiscriminately.
