A potential agreement between the United States and Iran to de-escalate tensions remains uncertain, with Iranian officials saying a final deal is “not imminent” despite ongoing negotiations. President Donald Trump says there is “no rush” to reach an agreement, while reiterating that Iran will never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. Talks continue in Doha, where Iran’s top negotiator and foreign minister are meeting counterparts to resolve key sticking points. Both sides stress that nothing has been signed, and any agreement would only mark an initial framework for future negotiations. Optimism over the Strait of Hormuz has already impacted global markets, with oil prices reportedly falling sharply on expectations of a possible breakthrough. Meanwhile, Trump is also pushing regional states to join an expanded Abraham Accords framework, adding further complexity to already fragile diplomacy.
