From Threats to Talks: Trump halts Iran Strikes, Says Landmark Deal is within reach

New Delhi: US President Donald Trump on Thursday said a deal to end the conflict with Iran is nearly complete and could be signed in Europe as early as this weekend, prompting him to call off planned military strikes against the Islamic Republic.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said negotiations had made significant progress and that Vice President JD Vance is expected to attend the signing ceremony, which could take place in Europe.

Trump Claims Breakthrough in Talks

The US president said he had held discussions with leaders from several Middle Eastern nations, including Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait and Pakistan regarding the latest round of negotiations aimed at ending hostilities.

His remarks came just hours after he threatened to escalate pressure on Iran by targeting its oil sector, signaling a dramatic shift in tone following what he described as a diplomatic breakthrough.

‘We Ended the War With Iran’

Later, while addressing a tele-rally in support of Burt Joneswho is running for Governor of Georgia, Trump claimed the conflict had effectively come to an end.

“I don’t know if you heard, but we ended the war with Iran today, and they have agreed never to have a nuclear weapon, something that we insisted on. That was the whole purpose,” Trump said.

Focus on Nuclear Commitments

According to Trump, the central objective of the negotiations was securing Iran’s commitment not to develop nuclear weapons. He said the reported agreement would address that concern and help bring stability to the region.

No immediate confirmation of the proposed deal or its terms was available from Iranian officials.
