President Donald Trump has stated that an agreement with Iran could be reached within "one or two days," claiming the parties are close but that there are no guarantees as negotiations continue. In a new interview with Axios, Trump said U.S. and Iranian negotiators will probably meet this weekend, and he expects them to finalize a deal to end the war. This follows a series of contradictory statements from Iranian officials, who have denied key U.S. claims and insisted significant differences remain on nuclear issues and sanctions relief. The U.S. has maintained its naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz pending a final agreement.
