U.S. President Donald Trump has caused uncertainty on whether a deal with Iran to end the war will be reached, only a day after saying such an agreement was imminent.
Trump, in a statement posted to Truth Social, stressed a deal that is reached would be a “good and proper one.”
He went on to say their deal — which he added “nobody has seen it, or knows what it is” — would be the “exact opposite” of the deal reached in 2015.
That deal lifted most U.S. and international economic sanctions against Iran. In exchange, Iran agreed to restrictions on its nuclear program, making it impossible to produce a bomb and establishing rigorous inspections.

Three years after the deal was reached, Trump announced the U.S. was withdrawing.
While Trump keeps stressing a deal would prevent nuclear weapon development, Iran has not publicly committed to giving up its enriched uranium.
“Both sides must take their time and get it right. There can be no mistakes,” Trump wrote. “They must understand, however, that they cannot develop or procure a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb.”
Uranium enrichment and possession would be a part of the potential deal that Trump previously noted in his Saturday post, according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
During a visit to India, Rubio said there had been “significant progress, although not final progress” in negotiations with Iran with bans and restrictions surrounding nuclear proliferation.
“Iran needs to enter into serious negotiations on three topics: their pledge never to have nuclear weapons, restrictions long-term on their enrichment capabilities, and what do you do with the highly-enriched uranium,” Rubio told India Today.
Iran appeared to respond to Rubio’s comments, with its embassy in India posting on social media that it has an “inalienable” right to nuclear technology.
Were a deal to be reached, it’s anticipated the Strait of Hormuz would also reopen, easing a worldwide energy crisis that was sparked by the U.S. and Israel’s bombardment of Iran that started Feb. 28. In response. Iran effectively closed the key waterway, leading to price spikes for oil, gas and several related products.
The U.S. has also enacted its own measures, blockading Iranian ports for more than a month. Trump said on Sunday the blockade would “remain in full force and effect until an agreement is reached, certified, and signed.”

Just nuke those f *ucking muslims. Then assassinate all their supporters. Rid the world of all this sh *it.
Lots of TDS showing here. My neighbor just got back from 6 months working in Texas. Enjoyed less income tax then no tax after 40 hours. Wow work a 100 hour week and 60 double time hours tax free. Finally a president for the working class. Keep it up don! Secured borders. Tough on crime and no more handouts. Great job Donny! BOOM! Too bad we got carney. Guess you get what you vote for.
TACO Donnie at his best!
Has Iran heard about this imminent deal!?
Looks like Trump has all of the ballrooms he needs, in the mouths of the people who are still somehow supporting him.
Why would any sane person believe or trust anything that this dictator says? He has constantly shown his ignorance and incompetence at dealing with anything!
@Anonymous guess who already has 100s of nuke missiles that’s already pointed at the US and threatened to use them just several months ago. Russia. The one that Ukraine is fighting and weakening which the US withdraw helping. I would argue even N Korea has more advanced nuke than Iran. Yet, since these guys aren’t pointing at Isreal it doesn’t fit the Crusade narrative. Trump thought this was a Venezuela quick war and grab their oil war and decided to join Isreal. But it blown to a bigger war with Iran finding new leverage. What an idiot.
Trump is actually making sense here. Iran must never be allowed to posses nuclear weapons, and has illegally operated underground enrichment facilities for the purpose of creating nuclear bombs. One of these facilities was buried in a mountain and the centrifuge was destroyed by U.S MOP missiles. If Iran ever had an atomic of fissionable weapon, I believe they would use it and no surrounding country would be safe.
Trump won’t reach anywhere the way he is acting
Lies, even media can’t tell whe Trump lies. “The war is going to end very soon” can mean just that, although Trump has been extremely transparent . He means he’s going to do the other thing he says. “We’re going to bomb the hell out of them”. We need to listen to his actual words and look at his constant change of heart. The guy is running from his own stupidity.
Trump is a far better leader than Carney by far.
Quiet Piggy !
This tiresome moron needs to be retired .
And it is not even Tuesday yet?
DJT is totally off his rocker! Get a strait jacket!
What a major American embarrassment🤦♂️
Love the TDS types on here. Completely ignorant of the 40,000+ innocent people the Iranian regime murdered. And they’d probably be unable to organize a lemonade stand yet they continue with peanut gallery-grade commentary.
The inb Red cheeto lickers are in full force on here, how do they even charge up a stolen phone living in pee stained tents?
From what I understand, Trump pulling out of JCPOA gave Iran free rein to pursue previously blocked (by JCPOA) nuclear pathways, such as enrichment.
It will be interesting to see the peace deal laid out to the public. Hopefully, it will at least bring some economic stability and permit solutions to unresolved questions.
TACO Donnie’s B.S. as per norma!
orange clown
Trump doing an amazing job. What has Carney got accomplished in comparison?
One day open, one closed, one opened again, then ….
Don must have stock in hybrids.
Elbows: hey skull, that means buy local. You think we should buy everything from far far away instead? Seriously?
Nope. And buy in season. This a new concept?
This guy started a war that was foolish to begin with now he is trying to get out of it, Trump has definitely lost his mind if he ever had one to begin with!
Carney flip flops daily on policy.
hahhaah the trolling continues
Spin out lefties…spin out!
TACO is living in his own dream world. Obama had an agreement for no nuclear weapons. Iran is still honouring that. It is Trump that decided to end the agreement. Now he is trying to say Iran wants nuclear weapons being his reason for the war. There was no reason.
Saying that he will only stop his blockade when the response to that blockade is gone. Any reasonable person would agree that removing the blockade should come first, the retaliation is second. Trump has shown himself to be untrustworthy.
