Trump says Iran deal possible as Tehran cites intensive mediated talks
US President Donald Trump said a deal with Iran could be reached, while Tehran confirmed that contacts to end the war are continuing, with no progress announced, according to BBC Arabic. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said consultations through mediators are very intensive, that Iran has submitted its conditions and proposals, and that the outcome depends on Washington's political rationality.
Why it matters
The parallel statements point to an indirect negotiating track that has not yet produced announced results toward ending the war. Any eventual deal between Washington and Tehran could affect stability across the region, including the Gulf states.
Background
States that lack direct channels of communication, or prefer not to use them, often rely on intermediaries to exchange messages and proposals. Statements from both sides suggest Washington and Tehran are currently following this route in an effort to end the war referred to in the report.
