# Trump Claims Major US-Iran Settlement Reached, Iran Denies Final Decision

**Washington (TDI):** Hopes for a possible breakthrough between the United States and Iran increased on Friday after President Donald Trump said a peace agreement could be finalized as early as this weekend. His comments came despite Tehran stating that no final decision had yet been made.

Trump told reporters at the White House that a “major settlement” regarding the conflict had been reached and suggested that the Strait of Hormuz would reopen once the deal is formally signed. He indicated that the signing ceremony could take place in Europe, possibly within days, and said Vice President JD Vance would likely attend.

He also claimed that Iran’s top leadership had approved the agreement, although Iranian officials have not confirmed this. Tehran, meanwhile, said discussions were still ongoing and that key issues remained unresolved, even though parts of the framework may have been agreed.

Reports from Iranian media suggested that while progress has been made, authorities in Tehran are still reviewing the proposal and have not committed to a final position.

Financial markets responded positively to the prospect of de-escalation, with global stocks rising and oil prices falling to their lowest level in two months. Investors are hoping that improved relations could ease disruptions in global energy supplies, especially after recent tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.

Despite the optimism, tensions in the region remain high. US forces reportedly intercepted Iranian drones targeting commercial shipping, while Iranian sources claimed a tanker was blocked from passing through the strait amid explosions in the area.

Trump said earlier that military action had been considered but later paused due to progress in negotiations. He emphasized that any agreement must prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, a claim Tehran continues to deny.

Iran, on the other hand, is demanding sanctions relief, access to frozen assets, and recognition of its influence over the strategic waterway.

The situation remains fluid, with diplomatic talks, military tension, and political pressure all shaping the outcome.
