We&#8217;ll probably have a signing, maybe in Europe,&#8221; Trump said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He later told a virtual tele-rally that &#8220;we ended the war with Iran today,&#8221; and that the country had agreed &#8220;never to have a nuclear weapon.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Iran Acknowledges Progress \u2014 But Rejects &#8220;Deal Signed&#8221; Claim<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Iran&#8217;s Foreign Ministry confirmed that major sections of a potential deal aimed at ending the war were close to completion, according to comments carried by Iranian state media Press TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Tehran rejected speculation that a deal had been signed, citing &#8220;contradictory positions&#8221; from the U.S. that were causing &#8220;turbulence and disruption&#8221; in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;As soon as we reach a final conclusion that serves the interests of the Iranian nation, it will be officially announced,&#8221; Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei told Press TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baghaei said the Strait of Hormuz remained closed \u2014 in contrast with claims from the U.S. military that the crossing was open. Separate reports showed Iran had launched drones at several ships passing through Hormuz late Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strikes Called Off as Markets Erupt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump had earlier backtracked on fresh attacks he had promised against Iran, calling off strikes and bombings scheduled for Thursday evening. Trump also suggested that &#8220;discussions and final points&#8221; on a peace deal with Iran had been &#8220;approved by all parties involved.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Major equity indexes on Wall Street surged after Trump&#8217;s remarks, while oil prices slumped \u2014 underscoring just how sensitive market participants were to headlines coming out of the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Road to the Announcement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Media reports earlier in the day said the United States and Iran had carried on negotiations over a potential peace deal overnight. Washington and Tehran were still in talks over a preliminary deal \u2014 including a mechanism that would unfreeze Iranian funds \u2014 Reuters reported, citing Iranian sources. Efforts to forge such an agreement had intensified, the report added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet uncertainty continued to surround the discussions. The United States and Iran exchanged strikes for a second straight day on Thursday, with Trump warning of more action against Iran if the country did not immediately accept a peace deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Iran also recently traded strikes with Israel over the latter&#8217;s hostilities against Tehran-backed Hezbollah militants in Lebanon. The Israeli military on early Thursday warned of projectile launches from Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump, speaking to a Fox News reporter on Wednesday evening, warned that Washington was prepared to &#8220;bomb the s*** out of Iran&#8221; if Tehran did not immediately accept a peace deal. On Wednesday, the president criticized Iran for taking too long to negotiate an agreement, warning that it &#8220;will have to pay the price.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways Trump&#8217;s bombshell announcement: The president declared the U.S. had reached a settlement with Iran, with a signing ceremony possible in Europe &#8220;over the next few days.&#8221; &#8220;We ended the war with Iran today&#8221;: Trump told a virtual rally Iran had agreed &#8220;never to have a nuclear weapon.&#8221; Hormuz and blockade to end: Trump &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":127251,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[38,6827,49,39,36],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-128345","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-commodities-news","category-daily-economic-reports","category-economic-reports","category-global-stock-markets","category-market-updates"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128345","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128345"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128345\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":128346,"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128345\/revisions\/128346"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/127251"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128345"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128345"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128345"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
