US President Donald Trump said Iran has agreed not to develop nuclear weapons, describing ongoing negotiations as being “close to a very good deal.” Trump stated that any final agreement must guarantee Tehran never acquires nuclear weapons and must also help reopen the strategically important Strait of Hormuz. However, Iranian officials have denied that a final agreement has been reached and disputed several US claims regarding nuclear commitments and regional conditions. Despite continued diplomatic talks, major disagreements remain over sanctions relief, uranium stockpiles, and maritime security, keeping the future of the proposed deal uncertain. (PC: Reuters)
