The US\u2013Iran deal could be finalized within \u201ctwo or three hours,\u201d President Donald Trump said on Sunday, signaling what he described as imminent progress toward an agreement with Tehran.<\/p>\n
His remarks come amid heightened regional tensions, including Israeli strikes on Beirut\u2019s southern suburbs and diplomatic efforts to prevent further escalation.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Fox News, Trump said he believes the agreement with Iran could be signed within hours.<\/p>\n
He added that if the deal is completed Sunday night, he would immediately issue an order lifting the naval blockade on Iran.<\/p>\n
Trump indicated the initial signing could take place remotely, followed by a formal in-person signing in Europe within a week.<\/p>\n
Trump also said he would ask Iran not to respond to Israeli strikes targeting Beirut\u2019s southern suburbs.<\/p>\n
He revealed that he had requested Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to refrain from launching additional strikes in Lebanon.<\/p>\n
According to Trump, he informed Netanyahu of his anger over the Beirut attack, describing it as a serious misjudgment at a sensitive diplomatic moment.<\/p>\n
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Washington is on the right path toward signing the agreement with Iran.<\/p>\n
He stated that the question is not whether the deal will be signed, but when.<\/p>\n
Hegseth also urged Iran to firmly press Hezbollah to halt attacks on Israel, describing Israel\u2019s response so far as measured in light of the ongoing negotiations.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz said President Trump and Vice President JD Vance are fully committed to signing the agreement Sunday.<\/p>\n
The anticipated agreement comes amid ongoing tensions in Lebanon and broader Middle East instability.<\/p>\n
Key developments include:<\/p>\n
– Ongoing Israeli strikes in Lebanon.<\/p>\n
– US mediation efforts to prevent wider conflict.<\/p>\n
– Diplomatic momentum toward a US\u2013Iran understanding.<\/p>\n
– Discussions of phased implementation and formal signing.<\/p>\n
The proposed agreement is seen as a potential turning point after months of escalating tensions.<\/p>\n
As negotiations approach what US officials describe as a decisive stage, the potential signing of a US\u2013Iran deal within hours marks a critical moment in regional diplomacy. Whether the agreement materializes as anticipated will likely shape the security landscape in the Middle East in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
