Trump expresses optimism a deal with Iran could be reached soon, but skepticism looms
Trump said talks with Iran have been very good and a deal could come before his trip to China next week, despite Tehran’s rejection of U.S. proposals.
- President Donald Trump expressed optimism about reaching a peace deal with Iran before his trip to China next week, where he is scheduled to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping.
- The White House reportedly sent Iran a memorandum proposing a moratorium on uranium enrichment, lifting U.S. sanctions, and reopening the Strait of Hormuz; Trump cancelled 'Project Freedom' less than 48 hours after announcing it to prioritize the negotiations.
- Meanwhile, Trump told reporters, "They want to make a deal. We've had very good talks over the last 24 hours and it's very possible that we'll make a deal." The U.S. military disabled an Iranian oil tanker Wednesday for bypassing blockades.
- Tehran rejected the initial American proposals but indicated it is still examining the offer; Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said on Thursday, "We expect an agreement sooner rather than later."
- Iran's Supreme Leader stated last week the country will not abandon its nuclear and missile capabilities, a position the White House considers a nonstarter for any deal negotiations.
