  • Iran stated it had not reached a final decision on a deal with Washington, despite U.S. President Donald Trump announcing a "great settlement" to end the war.
  • Trump had previously indicated an agreement was imminent, but Iran's foreign ministry spokesman urged caution.

Iran announced on Friday that it has not finalized any agreement with Washington, casting doubt on U.S. President Donald Trump's declaration of a "great settlement" to end the war. Trump had expressed expectations that a deal would be signed in Europe in the coming days.

However, Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei stated, "So far, Iran has not reached a final conclusion on the agreement." This statement directly contradicts Trump's optimistic announcement, suggesting a significant gap remains in negotiations.

The Tasnim news agency issued a stark warning regarding Trump's pronouncements. It noted that the U.S. President had claimed a deal was imminent on 38 separate occasions over the preceding two months. "Until Iran announces the matter of a potential understanding, any news from Trump on this subject should be regarded the same as his previous messaging," Tasnim cautioned, urging skepticism towards the latest announcement.

This exchange highlights the persistent difficulties in reaching a resolution, with Iran signaling a more cautious approach than the Trump administration's public declarations. The repeated claims of imminent deals, followed by denials or lack of confirmation from the Iranian side, underscore the complex and often uncertain nature of the ongoing diplomatic efforts.
