Trump Signals Progress in Iran Talks, Suggests Possible Deal and Strait of Hormuz Opening
(MENAFN) US President Donald Trump has said negotiations with Iran are progressing positively, describing the diplomatic process as “very well,” according to remarks made at the White House.
Speaking to reporters, Trump addressed recent regional developments while downplaying their impact, saying, “They did something, not a big deal. We got it. We nipped it in the bud very quickly, as we do with the greatest military in the world.”
At the same time, tensions remain high in the region. According to reports, Kuwait has said Iranian strikes caused casualties and damage to infrastructure, including diplomatic facilities, and stated that it reserves the right to respond.
Despite these developments, Trump expressed optimism about diplomatic progress, telling reporters, “I hear the negotiation itself has gone very well, actually very well,” and suggesting that movement in talks could occur “over the weekend.”
He also indicated that Iran is nearing agreement, stating that it is “pretty close to signing a paper.” He linked potential diplomatic progress to broader regional outcomes, saying that reopening the Strait of Hormuz would follow immediately after a deal is finalized.
Trump added that the United States is attempting to separate negotiations over maritime access from ongoing hostilities in Lebanon. He also referenced discussions involving Hezbollah, claiming that understandings had been reached to avoid further escalation, while emphasizing his preference for treating the issues as distinct diplomatic tracks.
Reports indicate that the administration is pursuing parallel efforts aimed at managing regional conflicts while advancing negotiations with Tehran over nuclear and security-related concerns.
