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

US President Donald Trump announced that a peace deal with Iran, aimed at ending months of conflict, is expected to be signed within days, possibly by Thursday or Friday. Trump credited the killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani and subsequent military pressure for enabling the diplomatic breakthrough. The agreement includes Iran's commitment not to pursue nuclear weapons and aims to restore regional stability and trade routes. Iranian officials have suggested a presidential signing, while Trump emphasized ongoing US military presence during implementation. The deal has drawn cautious optimism from regional actors and global economic analysts, who warn of risks if the agreement fails.
