U.S. Says Iran Deal Meeting Its Objectives Could Be Signed in 'Coming Days'

The United States anticipates signing an agreement with Iran within days that would fulfill President Donald Trump's primary objectives, a senior administration official stated on June 12, 2026. The official expressed an 85% confidence level in the deal's finalization, emphasizing that the draft agreement meets the "central objectives" set by the president when the war began in February.

The proposed accord aims to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil transport, and initiate the dismantling of Iran's nuclear program. Under the terms, the U.S. would acquire enriched uranium from Iran for destruction. Furthermore, the agreement would compel Iran to cease funding violence in other Middle Eastern countries while ensuring respect for its territorial sovereignty.

In return for these concessions, Iran would receive relief from existing sanctions, enabling its reintegration into the global economy. This development follows recent clashes in the Persian Gulf, described as the most severe since an April ceasefire. Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, indicated on Friday that a "memorandum of understanding" with the U.S. "has never been closer."

Vice President JD Vance affirmed on Friday that no funds would be released to Iran in exchange for signing a peace agreement, underscoring the U.S. stance on the financial aspects of the deal. The administration official described the potential agreement as placing Washington "in a very, very favorable position."
