Trump announces progress in US-Iran peace negotiations with talks expected to resume
President Trump conducted multiple phone interviews with news outlets on Friday, claiming Iran has agreed to major concessions including halting its nuclear program and keeping the Strait of Hormuz open. Trump said US-Iran talks will likely continue over the weekend in Pakistan and expressed confidence a deal could be reached within days. Iran confirmed reopening the Strait of Hormuz during the current ceasefire pause but has not officially responded to many of Trump's broader claims.
