Multiple outlets report that U.S. President Donald Trump says negotiations with Iran are in their “final stages” and that a response is expected soon. Trump links the pace of talks to the possibility of resumed U.S. military action, warning that if Iran does not accept the terms, the United States could take “nasty” steps and resume attacks on a scale described by some reports as “bigger and stronger than ever.”
Iran, according to the coverage, is examining a new U.S. proposal presented as part of ongoing efforts to end the active phase of the war. CBS and other outlets say Iran is mulling the latest U.S. offer, while Reuters-style details are not included in the provided excerpts. Several reports also indicate communication channels are being facilitated, including mention that Pakistan’s interior minister is in Iran to help coordinate dialogue with the United States.
Other reporting adds that the U.S. has tightened or revised draft conditions for a potential agreement, with negotiations continuing amid a fragile ceasefire environment referenced by some outlets. Saudi Arabia is reported to have welcomed Trump’s approach of allowing diplomacy to continue and urged Tehran to reach a deal.
