President Donald Trump announced progress on a deal with Iran following talks with Israel, though Tehran noted nuclear weapons are excluded from the initial framework
President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that a deal with Iran to address the ongoing war is now "largely negotiated." According to the president, this potential agreement includes provisions for opening the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime transit route. Trump noted that the breakthrough followed a series of consultations and phone calls with Israel and other key allies throughout the region.[1][2]
Meanwhile, representatives in Tehran have also signaled that progress is being made on the diplomatic front. However, Iranian officials have clarified that the highly contentious issue of nuclear weapons is not currently part of the initial framework they are working on, suggesting that key security matters remain outside the scope of the immediate agreement.[1]
