US President Donald Trump has said he will soon decide on a proposed agreement with Iran that seeks to extend an existing ceasefire between the two sides.

The deal under consideration would reportedly extend an early-April truce for another 60 days, giving negotiators more time to work toward a longer-term peace arrangement.

According to a White House official, Trump held a two-hour meeting in the Situation Room to make a final determination, although no official decision was confirmed after the discussion.Trump stressed that any agreement must meet US conditions, particularly that Iran must never acquire nuclear weapons.

He also introduced a strong demand related to the Strait of Hormuz, insisting that it be fully reopened to unrestricted shipping traffic with no tolls in either direction.He argued that Iran’s nuclear capabilities should be dismantled and that nuclear materials could be uncovered or removed under US supervision.Iranian officials and media outlets pushed back on Trump’s statements, with sources saying that an agreement was close but had not yet been approved.

Iranian representatives also argued that issues related to the Strait of Hormuz should be handled by Iran and Oman, and denied that nuclear terms were part of the current draft deal.Some Iranian commentary described Trump’s remarks as an attempt to project a false sense of progress.

The report also noted geopolitical and economic pressures influencing the negotiations, including rising energy prices and political pressure in the United States ahead of elections.Additional claims included possible discussions over frozen Iranian assets and uranium stockpile arrangements involving third countries.

Overall, the situation remains unresolved, with both sides appearing close to a framework agreement but still divided on key issues such as nuclear restrictions and control over strategic maritime routes.
