Speaking after attending an NBA Finals game in New York, Trump said, “We are in the final stages of reaching an agreement that will be very beneficial.”

When asked about the expected timeline, he added that finalising the agreement would take “two or three days.”

Previous statements

On several previous occasions, Trump has indicated that a memorandum of understanding with Iran was close to being signed, although those diplomatic efforts have yet to produce a final agreement.

Regional considerations

According to the report, Iran continues to insist that any agreement with Washington should include a ceasefire in Lebanon as part of the overall understanding, whereas Israel favours keeping the two issues separate.
