US President Donald Trump announced that a peace deal with Iran is 'very close,' asserting that there are 'no sticking points' left to resolve. His comments followed a series of social media updates highlighting progress in negotiations, particularly regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the cessation of Iran's nuclear program. Trump stated that the core demand from the US is that Iran must never be allowed to develop nuclear weapons, and he mentioned that Iran has agreed to turn over its stock of enriched uranium. Despite his optimism, Trump clarified that he prefers to have any agreement formalized in writing before making a definitive announcement. A recent round of talks in Pakistan did not yield a deal, but Trump indicated that further discussions could take place soon.
