However, Iran's Foreign Ministry quickly countered these claims. Spokesman Esmail Baghaei dismissed reports of a finalized agreement as "mere speculation," emphasizing that Tehran had not yet made a definitive decision. He also noted that while Qatar and Pakistan were mediating, U.S. actions were hindering the diplomatic process and making the situation in the Strait of Hormuz less secure.

The Israeli Prime Minister's office stated that Trump had committed to ensuring any agreement would include Iran divesting enriched nuclear material, dismantling enrichment infrastructure, limiting missile production, and ceasing support for terrorism. Despite Trump's repeated assertions of an imminent peace deal over the past two months, Iran's stance suggests significant hurdles remain.

The reports on the finalization of an agreement with the United States are mere speculation.
