Trump Says Iran Deal Could Be Reached This Weekend

President Trump said a deal with Iran could come as soon as this weekend, telling reporters he understands Iranian leadership has accepted the agreement's terms.

Trump made the comments to press but provided no specifics about what the agreement would contain or the current status of negotiations. He did not identify which Iranian officials had purportedly agreed to the deal's conditions.

The statement marks Trump's latest public assertion about ongoing discussions with Tehran. Trump has previously indicated his administration was pursuing negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program and other matters.

The White House did not immediately issue a formal statement detailing the negotiations or confirming Trump's timeline. Officials did not respond to requests for clarification about which aspects of potential talks had advanced or whether formal agreements had been reached.

Diplomacy between the United States and Iran has centered on Iran's nuclear activities, economic sanctions, and regional tensions. Past negotiations produced the 2015 nuclear deal, which Trump withdrew the United States from in 2018, citing concerns about its terms and Iran's conduct.

Trump's comment came without confirmation from Iranian officials or other parties to potential talks. News of substantive progress in negotiations has not emerged from government statements or official channels in recent weeks.
