[68491] Conflicting reports on progress in negotiations between the US and Iran

Developments surrounding the contacts between Washington and Tehran

Over the past 24 hours, conflicting reports have emerged regarding the status of negotiations between the United States and Iran. Donald Trump explicitly denied in a media briefing that he offered to lift sanctions on Iranian oil, clarifying: "Until they sign an agreement, I am not canceling anything." Trump emphasized that as of now, no official American proposal has been submitted on the matter.

Contrary to Trump's position, channels associated with foreign reports, including Elhat News, Akharin Khabar Khuzestan, and Akhbar Jang Khuzestan, cited sources close to Al-Arabiya claiming that the sides are in the "final stages" of the contacts. According to the reports, a final draft of an agreement may be published in the immediate future.

One of the surprising reports circulated in Iranian networks claims that the commander of the Pakistani army may arrive in Iran to announce the completion of the final draft of the agreement. Akharin Khabar Khuzestan even noted that another round of talks might be held in Islamabad after the end of the Hajj season.

Meanwhile, Akharin Khabar Khorasan Jonobi addressed the words of Trump's deputy, J.D. Vance, who claimed that significant progress had been made in the contacts and that the Iranians "want to reach an agreement." The channel harshly criticized these claims, defining them as "delusions."

It should be noted that the sources reporting a near breakthrough (such as Akhbar Forio) often rely on propaganda or unverified reports influenced by the Iranian interest to project an image of steadfastness or diplomatic progress, while Trump's direct words reflect a more conservative and stringent position regarding the terms of the deal.
