Former U.S. President Donald Trump has said a Middle East peace agreement is in its “final throes,” following reports of a halt in hostilities between Iran and Israel.
Speaking on the evolving situation, Trump described negotiations as being in the final stages, suggesting that a formal agreement could soon be reached. He did not provide specific details on the terms of the reported deal or the parties directly involved in the talks.
The remarks come amid unverified reports of a temporary de-escalation between Iran and Israel after a period of heightened tensions and cross-border hostilities in the region. Neither Tehran nor Jerusalem has publicly confirmed the existence of a comprehensive peace agreement.
Diplomatic observers say any potential breakthrough would mark a significant shift in regional dynamics, given years of strained relations and intermittent conflict between both countries. However, they caution that similar ceasefire or de-escalation claims in the past have often been fragile or short-lived.
As of now, there has been no official confirmation from U.S. government agencies or international mediators regarding the status of any finalized peace deal.
The situation remains fluid, with international attention focused on whether the reported diplomatic progress will translate into a formal and lasting agreement.
