Interim deal on Iran war in final stage, official says

An interim agreement to end the war in Iran is in its final stages and is "quite comprehensive", a Pakistani official involved in the negotiations told Reuters on Saturday (23).

"It's never over until it's done," the official said.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump stated, in an interview with CBS News, that negotiators from the United States and Iran are "getting very close" to finalizing an agreement to end the war that began at the end of February.

He said a final deal would prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and ensure that Iran's enriched uranium is "treated satisfactorily," according to CBS.

"I will only sign a deal if we get everything we want," Trump said.

Progress in negotiations
Iran, the United States and mediator Pakistan said on Saturday that progress had been made in negotiations to end nearly three months of war.

Trump said he will discuss the latest draft agreement with aides this Saturday, and that he may make a decision on whether to resume the war on Sunday, he told Axios in a separate interview.

The American president has wavered between the two poles of diplomacy and military strike since a ceasefire was declared six weeks ago to allow the sides to reach an agreement on Iran's nuclear program and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil and gas supply route now controlled by Tehran.

Trump described the chances of reaching a deal with Iran as "a solid 50-50" in a phone interview with Axios.
