  • Iran stated on Friday that no final decision has been made regarding a potential deal to end the Middle East conflict.
  • This comes despite US President Donald Trump's claim that an agreement could be reached within days.
  • Trump had also announced the cancellation of threatened strikes on Iran.

Iran has asserted that it has not yet reached a final decision on a deal aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. This statement was made on Friday, casting doubt on recent assertions from the United States. US President Donald Trump had previously suggested that an agreement was imminent, potentially to be signed within days. His administration had also recently called off planned military strikes against Iran, signaling a potential de-escalation. The Iranian position suggests a divergence from the timeline and certainty expressed by the US, indicating that negotiations or internal deliberations are still ongoing. The outcome of these discussions remains uncertain, despite the apparent diplomatic maneuvering. This development underscores the complex and sensitive nature of the situation, with both sides engaging in public statements that shape perceptions of progress toward peace.
