Step
1 / 5

Despite earlier claims of a potential deal, the US and Iran continue to trade conflicting statements on the status of their negotiations. A "memorandum of understanding" is reportedly under discussion, but both sides are keen to frame it as a victory. Donald Trump has dismissed Iranian media reports that an agreement is close, despite his earlier suggestions that a deal could be signed soon.

  • US claims: Trump has repeatedly stated that a deal with Iran is imminent, but has since backtracked on those claims.
  • Iranian response: Iranian officials have denied that a deal is close, accusing the US of making "excessive demands."
  • Ceasefire: A ceasefire has been in effect since April, but the prospect of a lasting peace agreement remains uncertain.
