Trump added that the emerging deal „would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran‘s nuclear threat.“
„Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL,“ Trump said.
„The joint American and Israeli military action against the genocidal regime in Teheran and Israel‘s crushing of Iran‘s terror axis have created the possibility to expand the circle of peace,“ Netanyahu said in the statement from his office on Thursday.
„There will be no enrichment of material!,“ Mr. Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform, adding that the deal „will be approved, but is totally subject to Saudi Arabia joining the very respected and successful Abraham Accords.“
The accords, first signed in 2020, have so far normalized economic and diplomatic relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco. Kazakhstan agreed to join in November.

Amid reports that the US is mediating a normalization deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia, Channel 12 reports on apparent Saudi and US demands for the deal to go ahead.
The report says that Saudi Arabia is demanding the Biden administration unfreeze several major arms deals, a military alliance with the US and a full nuclear program.
The two agreements also advance U.S. and regional security by upholding high standards of nuclear safety, security, and nonproliferation and strengthening the United States‘ competitive edge in civil nuclear technology.
(…)
Under President Trump‘s leadership, America is restoring its competitive edge in the global civil nuclear marketplace. This agreement builds on President Trump‘s Executive Order, Deploying Advanced Nuclear Reactor Technologies for National Security, and specifically Section 8 on Promoting American Nuclear Exports, which supports an expansion of international partners for U.S. civil nuclear cooperation under Section 123 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
The agreement does not include the „Gold Standard“ that would block the kingdom from enriching uranium and reprocessing spent nuclear âfuel, both of which are potential pathways to nuclear weapons, said the sources familiar with the agreement.
The agreement also does not â include â the „Additional Protocol“ which grants the U.N.‘s â International Atomic Energy Agency âbroad and more intrusive oversight of a country‘s nuclear activities, such as the power to carry out snap inspections at âundeclared locations, said the sources, who â spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive issues.

The prime minister has been warning for over 20 years that Tehran is close to achieving its pursuit of nuclear weapons.
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul has held talks with his American counterpart, Marco Rubio, in Washington, DC, and reaffirmed support for the US-Iran MoU.
In a statement on X, he said the deal was an âimportant stepâ and that âit creates an opportunity for diplomacy in what remains a highly fragile situation.â
He added: âThe priority now is to reach a sustainable solution that ensures safe and free passage through the #StraitOfHormuz and, in particular, addresses Iranâs nuclear programme, which must never again pose a threat.â
The task now is not to reward Trump politically, nor to excuse the recklessness that produced this war. It is to prevent the war from returning. Democrats can condemn the decision to start it without sabotaging the agreement that ends it. They can hold Trump accountable without helping Netanyahu drag the United States back into conflict. The choice before them is not between opposing Trump and supporting peace. It is between learning from Americaâs endless wars and repeating them.
The senior official indicated that the United States is willing to allow Iran to use nuclear in a civilian capacity.
âWeâre not bothered at all by the idea of civilian power plants in Iran. What weâre bothered by is the type of infrastructure that would allow them to jump from civilian power generation to nuclear weapons development, and thatâs what theyâve had for a very long time,â they said.
Speaking with CNNâs Senior International correspondent Frederik Pleitgen in Tehran Sunday, Baghaei said the exchange of messages continued through Pakistani mediators.
âThe main problem of negotiating with this administration is that you have to face so many changing positions, moving the goal posts, different statements, contradictory remarks by different officials, so it makes the whole process very cumbersome,â Baghaei said.
There were quite a number of sticking points, he said, âbut the main issue is that the Americans must understand that they have to recognize Iranâs rights,â including its right to peaceful nuclear enrichment under the international non-proliferation treaty.
US President Donald Trump has told NBC News that a deal with Iran is „very close“.
âWe have a couple of points. They donât even seem like big points,â Trump said. âTheyâve conceded the fact that they will not have nuclear weapons. We had a clause in there that [they] will not develop nuclear weapons. And everybody was very happy with it except me.â

The two sides are âvery closeâ to signing a pact, Trump said, but he is pushing for Iran to go further in abandoning its nuclear ambitions.
âWe have a couple of points. They donât even seem like big points,â he said. âTheyâve conceded the fact that they will not have nuclear weapons. We had a clause in there that [they] will not develop nuclear weapons. And everybody was very happy with it except me.â
Trump said he wanted an additional provision to ensure Iran canât execute an end run around a deal.
âAnd I said, âWell, what happens if they, not develop, but they go out and purchase, they acquire? I want to put the word, âif they buy, purchase or acquire,ââ he said. âYou know, youâve got to have that in there, too, because thatâs not developing. So, they donât have the right to develop or purchase, acquire or buy.â

Delivered by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesman for the Secretary-General
The Secretary-General expresses his disappointment at the inability of the Eleventh Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) to reach consensus on a substantive outcome and to seize this critical opportunity to make our world safer.
There was no consensus among the 191 parties to the NPT, the third failure in a row at a conference reviewing the treaty

Britainâs Rebecca Johnson, founding executive director of the Acronym Institute for Disarmament Diplomacy, had harsh criticism for both the US and Russia, the two largest nuclear powers, which she said âdouble down on nuclear threats, blame others and try to undermine or ignore the NPTâs nuclear disarmament commitments and related agreementsâ.

Masoud Pezeshkian says Tehran âenters into dialogue with dignity, authority, and the preservation of the nationâs rightsâ.
âAnd under no circumstances will it retreat from the legal rights of the people and the country,â the Iranian president wrote on X.
âWe will serve the people with logic and with all our might, to the end, and safeguard the interests and honour of Iran.â

The US president says he was asked by Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan âto hold off on our planned Military attackâ on Iran, âwhich was scheduled for tomorrowâ.
Trump said the Gulf leaders had noted âthat serious negotiations are now taking place, and that, in their opinion, as Great Leaders and Allies, a Deal will be made, which will be very acceptable to the United States of America, as well as all Countries in the Middle East, and beyondâ.
âThis Deal will include, importantly, NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR IRAN!â he wrote on his Truth Social platform.

Because they want to.

Sources close to these diplomatic efforts told Al Jazeera that senior intelligence officials from several countries were present at the Muscat talks.
n Iranian business newspaper reported in April that reconstruction would take at least 12 years.
âThe nuclear issue is honestly Betamax now,â Alan Eyre, a former member of the US team that negotiated the Iran nuclear deal, told MEE, referring to the now obsolete 1975 video cassette player.
âEveryone is talking about what the Iranians are willing to give up. But that is largely a function of what they are willing to get,â he added. „What the Iranians want is money.“
Eyre said there are four ways Iran can be compensated for a deal that reopens the Strait of Hormuz and ends with an agreement on its nuclear programme: reparations, tolling, unblocking frozen assets, and sanctions relief. Of the four, he believes a toll in the Strait of Hormuz is the likeliest path for a deal.
He reiterated Iranâs firm commitment to diplomacy even under the ongoing sensitive situation and urged the US to abandon its âmaximalist approachâ and respect international regulations in order to ensure „result-oriented diplomacy.“
Iran adheres to its commitments as per the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) but will never accept agreements which are not within the framework of international law, the diplomat emphasized.
âI have to be very crystal clear that Iran would not accept to be an exception from the international law. Anything that we are going to be committed will be within the international regulations and international law. We have responsibilities and rights,â Khatibzadeh stressed.
Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump said, „We‘re talking to them. They wanted to close up the strait again — you know, as they‘ve been doing for years — and they can‘t blackmail us.“
Iranian sources indicated that Pezeshkian called potential agreement with the United States as ânot out of reach,â suggesting that Tehran still sees diplomatic space despite ongoing disputes.
The core of Iranâs position remains unchanged, while it is open to negotiations, it insists that talks must be conducted without pressure, coercion, or what it views as unilateral demands from Washington. Iranian officials have repeatedly framed US policy toward Tehran as coercive, particularly in relation to long-standing disagreements over Iranâs nuclear program and regional influence.
âNo one expected a big deal in Pakistan after 40 days of war,â he said. âNevertheless, it was high-level direct negotiations, and they can continue to resolve the two remaining issues.â
Mousavian said what remained to be settled was freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and Iranâs nuclear enrichment.
âI believe there is a solution for both,â he said.

âMolybdenum is used to detect some diseases. Every week, hospitals and nuclear medicine diagnostic centers across the country need radiopharmaceuticals based on the use of technetium-m99, and more than one million patients benefit from technetium-m99 every year,â Ali Bahrami Samani, the project manager of the Molybdenum macro plan said.
(…)
âFurthermore, the hot cell facilities during the implementation of the molybdenum production plan using the method of neutron activation of molybdenum oxide were not suitable under the foreign sanctions for the rapid implementation of the industrial stage under special conditions. Also, given the restrictions imposed by the nuclear deal known as the JCPOA (Comprehensive Joint Plan of Action), it was decided that molybdenum production plan to be carried out in several stages,â the manager of the project further explained.
The President said he gave the order because Iran refused to agree not to develop nuclear weapons during talks with US officials in Pakistan on Saturday. âThe meeting with Iran began early in the morning, and lasted throughout the night â Close to 20 hours,â the President wrote in a second post on Sunday. âI could go into great detail, and talk about much that has been gotten but, there is only one thing that matters â IRAN IS UNWILLING TO GIVE UP ITS NUCLEAR AMBITIONS!â

Der iranische PrĂ€sident veröffentlichte am Mittwoch einen Brief an das amerikanische Volk. Darin war eine Botschaft enthalten, die der Mainstream lieber verbergen wĂŒrde.
I invite you to look beyond the machinery of misinformationâan integral part of this aggressionâand instead speak with those who have visited Iran. Observe the many accomplished Iranian immigrantsâeducated in Iranâwho now teach and conduct research at the worldâs most prestigious universities, or contribute to the most advanced technology firms in the West. Do these realities align with the distortions you are being told about Iran and its people?
Today, the world stands at crossroads. Continuing along the path of confrontation is more costly and futile than ever before. The choice between confrontation and engagement is both real and consequential; its outcome will shape the future for generations to come. Throughout its millennia of proud history, Iran has outlasted many aggressors. All that remains of them are tarnished names in history, while Iran enduresâresilient, dignified, and proud.

Masoud Pezeshkian, president of Iran.
The president sought to draw a sharp line between governments and their citizens, stating that the Iranian people harbor no ill will towards Americans. âThe Iranian people harbor no enmity toward other nations, including the people of America, Europe, or neighboring countriesâ he wrote, describing this distinction as âa deeply rooted principle in Iranian culture and collective consciousnessânot a temporary political stance.â
Building on this theme, Pezeshkian noted that the perception of Iran as a danger is an invention. He said such a view is âthe product of political and economic whims of the powerfulâthe need to manufacture an enemy in order to justify pressure, maintain military dominance, sustain the arms industry, and control strategic markets.â
âIn such an environment, if a threat does not exist, it is invented,â he added.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said ordinary Americans are not considered enemies despite longstanding tensions.
In a letter, he said Iranians âharbor no enmityâ toward people in the US, Europe or neighbouring countries.
He added that Iran distinguishes between governments and the people they represent, describing it as a deeply rooted principle rather than a temporary political position.
