US President Donald Trump has said Iran is "getting a lot closer" to reaching an agreement with the US, as Tehran also signalled progress. Trump told CBS News he had seen a draft agreement but did not give details, insisting any deal would prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. He warned that without a deal, Iran would face severe consequences.
Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said positions had converged but warned key issues remain. He stated a 14-point memorandum of understanding is being finalised, with further talks expected within 30 to 60 days. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio was cautiously optimistic, emphasising Iran must turn over highly enriched uranium and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
