Tehran says 'nothing' finalised after Trump claims deal to end Iran war near

Article excerpt

President Trump claimed a deal to end the Iran conflict is near, calling it a 'great settlement,' but Tehran pushed back sharply, calling reports of any agreement 'speculative' and insisting nothing has been finalized. The contradiction highlights the vast gap between the two sides' positions even as Trump signals imminent resolution. Iran's immediate denial suggests either skepticism about Trump's characterization or a strategic move to avoid appearing to have yielded ground. The timing and substance of any actual negotiations remain murky, with each side controlling the narrative of progress toward peace.
