US EditionTrump says Iran agreed to suspend nuclear program indefinitely, deal to end war ‘mostly complete’
Trump said Iran agreed to suspend its nuclear program indefinitely as negotiators weigh a deal on frozen funds and enriched uranium stockpiles.
- President Donald Trump announced Friday that a United States and Iran deal is "mostly complete," with Iran agreeing to suspend its nuclear program indefinitely. Trump confirmed the halt is "No years, unlimited."
- Following joint United States and Israel airstrikes that began in late February, President Trump announced a 10-day ceasefire on Thursday. This pause in hostilities aims to facilitate a lasting agreement before the truce expires on Wednesday.
- While Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced the Strait of Hormuz is "completely open for the remaining period," President Trump maintained that the United States naval blockade "will remain in full force" until the agreement is "100%" complete.
- Negotiations reportedly involve the potential release of $20 billion in frozen funds for Iran's enriched uranium stockpile, while more than 10,000 United States troops remain in the region to enforce the blockade until terms are finalized.
- Talks regarding a lasting agreement will "probably" be held this weekend, Trump said. Conflicting claims create uncertainty for energy markets, which recently saw oil prices drop nearly 9% amid de-escalation hopes.
