Donald Trump has announced ongoing efforts to secure a ceasefire between the United States and Iran, expressing optimism that Israel would support the proposed agreement, even as conflicting claims cast doubt over the talks.
The US president made the remarks in Florida after postponing a planned strike on Iran’s power infrastructure, stating that both sides were interested in ending hostilities following weeks of escalating conflict.
Trump revealed that discussions with Israeli leaders had taken place and hinted at a 15-point agreement with Tehran, including commitments related to nuclear weapons. However, Iranian authorities have strongly denied any direct or indirect communication with Washington. Reports from Iran’s state-linked media insist that no مذاکرات — even through intermediaries — have occurred, contradicting Trump’s assertions and raising questions about the status of the proposed deal.

Despite his optimism, Trump warned that failure to reach an agreement could result in renewed military action, declaring that the US would “keep bombing” if diplomacy collapses. The conflict, now in its fourth week, has intensified tensions across the Middle East, with over 2,500 reported casualties, including senior Iranian officials such as Ali Khamenei.
The crisis reportedly began shortly after indirect negotiations mediated by Oman stalled in late February. Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, had earlier indicated progress on nuclear issues and sanctions relief before hostilities erupted. As diplomatic uncertainty persists, global attention remains fixed on whether fragile talks can halt further escalation in one of the region’s most volatile confrontations.
