Trump Claims Iran Talks Moving Forward as Rubio Teases Peace Deal 'Today' | Firstpost Live | N18G

[0:00]President Donald Trump says negotiations with Iran are moving forward, even as key issues around Tehran's nuclear program and sanctions relief remain unresolved. The developments come as Washington signals that a possible Iran deal could still be reached as early as today. Trump earlier suggested that a possible agreement with Iran had largely negotiated. The US President later said he had instructed negotiators not to rush into a deal. Trump added that time is on our side. According to reports, the proposed understanding could include a 60-day ceasefire extension, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a plan for further negotiations over Iran's nuclear program. Sanctions relief and frozen Iranian assets included. Trump also said any agreement with Tehran would be different from the nuclear deal negotiated under former US President Barack Obama. Posting on Truth Social, Trump said any deal reached under his administration would be a good and proper one. Our deal is the exact opposite, but nobody has seen it or knows what it is. It isn't even fully negotiated yet, so don't listen to the losers, who are critical about something they know nothing about. Unlike those before me who should have solved this problem many years ago, I don't make bad deals. Meanwhile, US Secretary of States Marco Rubio, who is currently on a state visit to India, said significant progress had been made in talks with Iran. He also said a possible Iran deal could still be reached as early as Monday. They will never possess a nuclear weapon, certainly not as long as Donald Trump is president of the United States. Related to that is this issue of the of the straits. Okay, this is an international waterway, what we're they don't own it, they it's an international waterway, and what they are doing now is basically they are threatening to destroy commercial vessels using an international waterway. Iranian officials have also acknowledged progress in negotiations. Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson said both sides were very close and very far from reaching an agreement. Iranian President Masoud Pasheshkin, meanwhile, said Tehran was ready to assure the world that it was not seeking nuclear weapons. About negotiation, the Islamic Republic has put the least costly path before you. The Islamic Republic is telling you that if you continue the war, we will make the American people miserable and the American economy miserable. Iran is here for a fair negotiation with you. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also weighed in on the ongoing Iran negotiations. In a social media post, Netanyahu said he had spoken with Trump about the proposed understanding with Iran and stressed that any final agreement must eliminate what he called the nuclear threat from Iran. When American and Israeli forces fought shoulder to shoulder against the Iranian threat, President Trump and I agreed that any final agreement with Iran must eliminate the nuclear danger. That means dismantling Iran's nuclear enrichment sites and removing its enriched nuclear material from its territory. President Trump also reaffirmed Israel's right to defend itself against threats on every front, including Lebanon. The negotiations have also triggered political debate inside the United States. Some Republican leaders criticized the proposed framework, arguing it could be too lenient on Tehran. Others within Trump's party said the negotiations had successfully pushed Iran back to the table. Meanwhile, a US intelligence report cited by CBS News claimed Iran's supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei is operating from a secure undisclosed location. The report says Khamenei is relying on couriers to communicate. The arrangement has reportedly slowed communication with Iran's leadership. The report also says it has complicated ongoing negotiations with Washington. US officials quoted in the report said Iranian negotiators are facing delays in responding to Washington. According to the report, messages must pass through multiple intermediaries before reaching Iran's leadership. The White House, meanwhile, declined to comment on the intelligence claims, but despite signs of diplomatic progress, both Washington and Tehran continue to signal caution. With major questions around sanctions, uranium enrichment, and the final structure of any nuclear agreement still unresolved. Hi, I'm Aussie Bhai.
