US and Iran Near Signing of Peace Deal Following Military and Diplomatic EffortsPreviousNext

US President Donald Trump attributed the emerging peace deal with Iran to a long-term strategy, highlighting the 2020 killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani and subsequent military actions as pivotal. Trump described the deal as imminent, possibly signing within days, and emphasized its economic benefits, including lower oil prices and stock market gains. Iranian officials and allies welcomed the agreement, viewing it as a regional victory. The deal marks a significant diplomatic development after decades of strained US-Iran relations, with some uncertainty remaining about finalization details.
