President Donald Trump says a potential breakthrough nuclear agreement with Iran could be reached as early as this weekend, signaling what he described as the closest progress yet in ongoing negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
According to Trump, discussions are advancing toward a framework that could include the United States taking custody of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile as part of efforts to prevent the development of nuclear weapons.
He suggested that negotiations are now “very close,” and that the deal under discussion would form a broader agreement aimed at reducing long-standing tensions between the two countries.
The comments come amid ongoing high-level diplomatic talks involving multiple intermediaries, as both sides attempt to narrow key differences on nuclear restrictions and security guarantees.
However, officials caution that while progress has been reported, several major issues remain unresolved, including verification mechanisms and the scope of sanctions relief.
Iran has not yet confirmed any final agreement, and negotiators on both sides are still working through technical and political details of the proposed framework.
The potential deal is being closely watched internationally, given its implications for regional stability and global security.
Tensions across the Middle East remain elevated, with recent months marked by military exchanges and competing claims between the two countries.
Analysts say any agreement, if finalized, could mark a significant shift in efforts to prevent further escalation.
For now, officials stress that no final deal has been reached, and talks are expected to continue as negotiators work toward a possible breakthrough.
