Iran comments on reports of nuclear deal with US

Iran’s Tasnim News Agency denied on Friday recent media reports claiming an interim nuclear deal had been reached between Tehran and Washington, stating that no such proposal exists from either side.

Tasnim, which is affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), also reported that there is currently no agreement on the date or location for a potential new round of nuclear negotiations, amid a continued deadlock between the two countries.

The statement comes as speculation has grown in recent weeks about a possible revival of the 2015 nuclear deal, following months of indirect communications and public statements by both sides.

Trump says progress made on Iran and Gaza

US President Donald Trump, speaking to reporters, said that the US is “doing very well” in its handling of both the Iran file and the Gaza crisis. He emphasized the importance of all parties in Gaza agreeing to the peace proposal presented by his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, as a step toward de-escalation.

Trump also revealed that he had issued clear warnings to 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against any military action targeting Iran. “I told Netanyahu that any move against Iran is not appropriate at this time,” Trump said.

He added that the US is currently engaged in “very good” talks with Tehran, suggesting that Iran appears open to reaching an agreement. Trump expressed optimism, stating: “We are very close to reaching a deal with Iran. I told Netanyahu that any escalation would ruin these efforts.”
