Iran-US Agreement Not Finalized Despite Trump's Optimistic Remarks; Tehran Insists Red Lines Remain Untouched
Tehran has pushed back against US President Donald Trump's assertion that a landmark agreement with Iran is on the verge of completion, emphasizing that negotiations remain under review and that no final approval has been granted by the country's leadership.

Iranian officials clarified that although diplomatic discussions between Tehran and Washington have produced progress, the proposed framework has not yet been formally endorsed. Authorities stressed that Iran's core national interests and strategic red lines remain non-negotiable.

Speaking to Iranian state media, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei dismissed reports suggesting an imminent signing ceremony. He said the draft agreement is still being examined by the country's decision-making institutions and that no definitive conclusion has been reached.
Baghaei noted that much of the negotiating text has already been settled. However, he accused the United States of repeatedly changing its positions during talks, creating obstacles to a final breakthrough.
He reiterated that Tehran would not compromise on fundamental principles in any future Iran-US agreement, regardless of international pressure.
Trump Claims Major Breakthrough in Iran Nuclear Talks
The Iranian response came shortly after President Donald Trump expressed confidence that negotiations had advanced significantly. Speaking at the White House, Trump claimed that discussions with Tehran had reached a stage where planned US military action was no longer necessary.
Trump stated that he believed Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, had approved a framework arrangement that could lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the removal of certain US restrictions affecting Iranian ports.
When asked whether the Iranian leader had personally endorsed the deal, Trump replied that his understanding was "yes."
Describing the development as a strong memorandum of understanding, Trump acknowledged that some aspects remained conceptual but insisted that a final agreement was likely to be completed soon.
The US President also indicated that military strikes against Iran's Kharg Island oil export terminal were no longer under consideration. He suggested that maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz could resume fully once the agreement is officially signed.
"We have reached a major settlement with Iran," Trump told reporters, adding that formal approval could occur within days.
Regional Leaders Briefed on Iran-US Negotiations
Trump revealed that he had discussed the matter with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and held consultations with leaders from Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Kuwait.
He also said he expected to speak with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the coming days regarding regional stability and the future of the agreement.
According to Trump, the proposed framework would permanently address international concerns surrounding Iran's nuclear ambitions.
"The primary objective was ensuring Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon, and we believe that goal has been achieved," Trump said.
US Suspends Planned Military Action Against Iran
In a significant policy shift, Trump announced the cancellation of additional military strikes against Iranian targets.
The decision contrasted sharply with comments made earlier when the administration had suggested preparations were underway for another round of attacks.
Since March, Washington has repeatedly maintained that a diplomatic solution to the Iran conflict was close. However, military exchanges continued despite negotiations, frequently testing the fragile ceasefire established on April 8.
Fresh Military Escalation Raises Concerns
The latest crisis erupted this week, marking one of the most serious escalations since the truce began.
On Tuesday, US forces reportedly struck nearly 20 Iranian military locations after an American Apache helicopter was allegedly downed near the Strait of Hormuz.
The confrontation intensified further the following day as explosions were reported across multiple Iranian regions following renewed US military operations.
Iran responded by targeting American-linked facilities in the Middle East. State media reported powerful blasts near Jordan's Al-Azraq Air Base, which hosts US military personnel and supports American regional operations.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed it launched 12 ballistic missiles at the installation and asserted that US aircraft stationed there were successfully hit.
Iran-US Relations Remain Uncertain
Despite Trump's optimistic assessment, Tehran's latest remarks suggest that significant hurdles remain before any final Iran-US agreement can be concluded. With tensions still high across the Middle East and military activity continuing in the region, the future of the proposed deal remains uncertain.
