Trump said on Monday that talks were in their final stretch and that he did not see major obstacles left. He described the deal as a strong one and tied the talks to wider efforts to calm the fighting in the region.
The comments came after reports that Trump warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that continuing military action could leave Israel with less US backing. He later wrote on Truth Social that Iran and Israel were both looking for an immediate ceasefire while peace talks kept moving.
The latest timeline has not quieted skepticism. Trump has raised hopes of a near-term deal before, and the new comments landed after weeks of similar claims that never turned into a signed agreement.
