Trump declares Iran war over, but Tehran confirms no deal

President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that the conflict with Iran has concluded, signaling optimism regarding the ongoing negotiations between the two nations. He stated that a pact between the countries is imminent.

Earlier in the day, Trump had ordered the cancellation of further attacks on Iranian targets, indicating that discussions were proceeding favorably. He expressed confidence that a significant peace agreement was close to being finalized, potentially to be signed over the weekend in Europe.

Despite Trump's optimistic pronouncements, Iranian state media have not confirmed the existence of any agreement. Reports from the Islamic Republic's state-controlled media insist that negotiations are still underway and that no final accord has been formalized between Tehran and Washington.

The situation follows several days of escalating tensions and clashes in the region. These included Iranian attacks on U.S. forces and subsequent retaliatory airstrikes ordered by Washington against Iranian military installations near the Strait of Hormuz.
