Trump Says Iran Deal Near Completion, Announces Halt to Planned Military Action
WASHINGTON: U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that a planned military strike against Iran has been halted as negotiations between the two countries have reached their final stages. Trump said the agreement documents are nearly complete and a formal signing is expected soon.
Speaking to reporters, President Trump stated that the deal could be signed by the end of the week, with a signing ceremony likely to take place in Europe.
Trump said U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance would attend the signing ceremony. He added that the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened immediately after the agreement is signed, describing the development as positive for the entire Middle East.
“I believe Iran’s Supreme Leader has agreed to the deal and has already approved the U.S.-Iran agreement,” Trump said, adding that Iran would not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons under the proposed arrangement.
The U.S. president also praised Pakistan’s role in the peace process, saying that Pakistan had played an important part in supporting the agreement. He described Pakistan’s Prime Minister and Field Marshal as “great personalities.”
Trump further revealed that he had discussed the Iran issue with Israel as part of ongoing diplomatic efforts.
