US President Donald Trump says negotiations with Iran are going “very well” and could produce results over the coming weekend. Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Trump said he hears the negotiation process itself is going well and added that a potential deal “could happen… over the weekend.” The comments are reported as optimistic from the US side.
The assessment is contrasted with views from Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, who says communication channels with the United States remain open but that there is “no tangible progress” in talks aimed at ending the Middle East war. In other reporting, Trump’s remarks are characterized as indicating the likelihood of an outcome soon, while Iranian officials emphasize the lack of concrete movement.
Overall, the coverage centers on a reported discrepancy between the US president’s upbeat view of the negotiation momentum and Iran’s statement that talks have not yet produced tangible results, even as dialogue continues.
