Iran Says It Is Still Sending Terms to US Via Qatar, No Final Deal Yet
Forecast Trend Report by Period
Iran said it has not yet reached a final agreement with the US, even as speculation grows that a deal between the two countries is close.
Iran is relaying the terms it wants to Washington through a Qatari negotiating team currently in Tehran, the semi-official Fars news agency reported on June 14, citing its correspondent.
Nothing has been finalized, the outlet added.
The report came after President Donald Trump said an agreement with Iran was effectively in its final stages and could be signed soon.
Senior US officials had earlier said they expected the two sides to sign a deal within days. They said a draft included reopening the Strait of Hormuz, dismantling Iran’s nuclear program and easing sanctions.
Iran, however, has maintained that work on the final text is still under way.
Markets view the US and Iran as close to a significant agreement, though uncertainty remains until a final signing because talks over key provisions are continuing.
