President Trump said U.S. and Iranian negotiators will likely meet this weekend and could finalize a deal to end the war within days. He revealed the Iranians "want to meet" and "want to make a deal," expressing clear optimism about the timeline. The president also stated he would not lift the naval blockade before an agreement is reached.
Multiple U.S. officials and other sources briefed on the talks confirm significant progress has been made. The two sides are reportedly closing in on a three-page peace plan, though gaps remain on critical issues. Trump has held at least one direct call with an Iranian official in recent days, signaling high-level engagement.
