United States (US) President Donald Trump has said that he will make a final decision on the Iran war by Sunday (tomorrow).
While giving an interview to Axios, the president stated that either the US is going to hit Iran harder or sign a good peace deal.
Trump said he would meet later today with senior aides, including envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, as well as Vice President JD Vance, to discuss the negotiations.
He is also expected to talk to the leaders of Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Turkiye, and Qatar.
President Donald Trump has also said that the US and Iran are “getting a lot closer” to finalising an agreement, according to a CBS interview.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said there is a possibility that Iran could agree to a deal aimed at easing tensions in the Middle East, with progress potentially emerging within days.
Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Rubio said negotiations were moving forward and suggested that an announcement could come soon.
“There is a chance that, whether it’s later today, tomorrow, in a couple of days, we may have something to say,” Rubio said, adding that he was hopeful for “good news.”
Earlier, Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces, Field Marshal Asim Munir, met Iran’s top leadership in Tehran.
In a statement, ISPR said Field Marshal Asim Munir’s meetings in Tehran were held in a positive and constructive atmosphere.
“Encouraging progress has been made following extensive discussions over the past 24 hours”, the statement added.
