Axios reports that the White House isnearing a preliminary deal with Iran to end the war, as Trump post appears to offer olive branch.
White House says it expects aresponse to the latest offer within 48 hours.
Iran’s initial response via media & national security spox:US demands are unrealistic & do not reflect reality, & Axios report based on too much ‘speculation’.
A key caveat of the US offered deal is that Iran would commit to amoratorium on uranium enrichment, & Washington wants a20-year ban on this.

The latest response out of Tehran via Tasnim: “Despite claims by US media that Iran and the US are close to a final one-page agreement to end the war,Iran has not yet given an official response to the Americans’ final text, which contains some unacceptable clauses.”
And separately Iran’s ISNA calls parts of the Axios report “speculation” – also reiterating the country has rejected some recent US proposals, as they are “unrealistic”. However, an Iranian spokesperson has said thatIran is indeed “reviewing the US proposal to end the war.”
And now a bit of rapid narrative reversal, coming from President Trump himself, after once again a likely premature early morning Axios report with overly optimistic language. Trump’s fresh words are via the NY Post:
President Donald Trump said it’s “too soon” to plan peace talks with Iran despite reports of a near deal, downplaying prospects of imminent negotiations in Pakistan. He warned that if Iran accepts terms, hostilities could end and the Strait of Hormuz reopen—but failure to agree would trigger intensified military action.
Indeed the Iranian reaction issued via media reports also suggests this is the case, that all the talk of an agreement being close is premature, and there remains immense hurdles and a long way to go. Axios’ Barak Ravid stillinsiststhat “the sources said this was the closest the parties had been to an agreement since the war began.”
