Trump Predicts Iran Deal Within Days Amid Continued Regional Volatility

President Donald Trump announced a significant breakthrough in negotiations with Iran, stating that he expects to sign a formal agreement within the next two to three days. Speaking on the current status of the conflict, the President indicated that there are no remaining 'sticking points' in the negotiations and noted that the strategic Strait of Hormuz would be reopened as soon as the ceasefire is finalized. This optimism comes despite the fragile nature of the current de-escalation following direct exchanges of fire between Iran and Israel earlier this month. While the primary U.S.-Iran channel appears focused on diplomacy, regional tensions remains high. Israel conducted fresh strikes in southern Lebanon over the last 24 hours, resulting in eight fatalities. President Trump has reportedly warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel could lose U.S. support if it unilaterally restarts the war with Iran, stating that if the conflict resumes, Israel could be 'on your own very soon.' Diplomatic efforts are currently being facilitated through Pakistan, which serves as the intermediary for ceasefire drafts between the two nations. Iran’s Ambassador to the UN, Amir Saeid Iravani, confirmed that Tehran remains engaged in the process. While no new developments regarding nuclear programs or sanctions were reported in the last 24 hours, the international community remains focused on whether the predicted 48-to-72-hour window will result in a sustainable end to the 2026 conflict.
