US‑Iran talks stall as Trump touts future deal while Tehran says no agreement imminent

President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that any future US‑Iran agreement would be "the exact opposite" of the Obama‑era deal and urged regional leaders to join an expanded Abraham Accords, while stressing that no deal would be signed immediately. U.S. officials echoed the message, saying negotiations are ongoing but a signing is not expected in the next days.

Iran’s foreign‑ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei acknowledged progress on many issues – including a cease‑fire in Lebanon, reopening the Strait of Hormuz and the release of frozen Iranian assets – but warned that mixed messages from Washington and alleged Israeli interference mean a final agreement is not imminent. The proposed framework would reopen the Strait within 30 days of a cease‑fire, manage navigation fees, and set a 60‑day timetable for further nuclear talks, leaving key nuclear questions for later.

Both sides agree a partial framework exists, but disagreements over the waterway, asset release and security guarantees keep the talks from concluding, and regional actors such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Oman are mentioned as participants in the broader diplomatic effort.
