President Trump Announces Diplomatic Breakthrough on Iran War
President Donald J. Trump announced a stunning diplomatic breakthrough with Iran in the Oval Office this afternoon, saying that a deal with Iran is nearly finalized.
According to the president, Vice-President JD Vance may attend the signing ceremony with Iranian officials yet to be named in Europe in the coming days.
President Donald Trump said Thursday that a deal to end the conflict with Iran is nearly complete, adding that negotiators are finalizing documents and could sign an agreement in Europe within days.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump declared that negotiators had reached a breakthrough and suggested the agreement was largely finished pending completion of final paperwork.
"We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran," Trump said. "The documents are in pretty final shape, so we'll see. It should be done pretty quickly."
Trump said the agreement would ensure Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon, which he described as the central objective of the administration's pressure campaign against Tehran.
Trump also said the Strait of Hormuz would reopen once the agreement is signed. This would ease pressure on global energy markets after weeks of military tensions and maritime disruptions in the region.
