US President Donald Trump announced that Washington and Tehran are on the verge of signing a landmark agreement that would see Iran permanently abandon its nuclear weapons program. Despite recent military skirmishes in the region, Trump emphasized that negotiations are progressing well and a deal could be finalized within days. The comprehensive pact would not only prohibit Iran from developing or purchasing nuclear weapons, but also mandate the removal and destruction of its deeply buried nuclear materials. Additionally, the President noted that signing the agreement would lead to the immediate demining and reopening of the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Highlighting broader regional diplomacy, Trump also claimed the US has helped secure a mutual ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
