Trump Reviews Iran Deal Options as Negotiations Remain Deadlocked
US President Donald Trump reviewed possible options for a potential agreement with Iran during a two-hour Situation Room meeting, but no final decision was reached, officials said.
The discussions come amid ongoing uncertainty over efforts to end the conflict, with the White House stating that any deal must fully meet US conditions. Officials reiterated that Iran cannot be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon.
Iran, meanwhile, has insisted it is seeking a “dignified framework” to end the conflict, while also maintaining that no final agreement has been reached and that differences remain over key terms.
Reports suggest that both sides continue to exchange messages, but major gaps persist over issues including sanctions, nuclear material, and access to strategic waterways.
Iranian officials have also disputed several US claims about the structure of a possible deal, saying negotiations remain incomplete and contested.
Energy markets have reacted to the uncertainty, with volatility linked to expectations around the outcome of talks and regional security developments.
The situation highlights continuing diplomatic efforts between Washington and Tehran, though a breakthrough remains elusive.
