Iranian state-linked media outlets claimed today that President Donald Trump could soon independently declare the completion of a major agreement between the United States and Iran, despite mounting signs that negotiations between the two countries remain deadlocked.

Iran’s Fars News Agency reported that Trump may move ahead with a unilateral announcement regarding a deal, while Iranian state television simultaneously claimed that officials in Tehran and Washington had already drafted a memorandum of understanding.

According to the Iranian report, the proposed framework would require the United States to pull all military forces out of the region and fully lift the naval blockade around the Strait of Hormuz. In return, Iran would guarantee the restoration and long-term security of international shipping traffic through the strategic waterway.

The White House quickly pushed back on the reports, dismissing the claims coming from Iranian media outlets.

“No one should believe what was published in the Iranian media. The facts are what matter.”

Iranian outlets went even further, publishing details of what they described as an agreed structure governing the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow shipping corridor through which nearly 20 percent of the world’s oil supply travels.

Under the reported arrangement, authority over the strait — including the management of shipping lanes and maritime navigation routes — would allegedly be handled solely through joint coordination between Iran and Oman, effectively eliminating American involvement in the area.

The sudden flood of reports from Tehran comes only days after The Wall Street Journal reported that direct talks between Washington and Tehran had slowed dramatically, with both sides hardening their positions as negotiations dragged on.

Sources familiar with the discussions told the newspaper that talks have effectively stalled for the time being because of major disagreements surrounding Iran’s nuclear ambitions and the scale of sanctions relief the regime is demanding.

The United States has reportedly insisted on firm and independently verifiable commitments from Iran to halt its nuclear activities and sharply curb uranium enrichment.

Inside the Trump administration, officials are said to be increasingly worried that Tehran could exploit negotiations as part of a broader delaying tactic. According to those concerns, Iran may seek immediate economic concessions and sanctions relief early in the process, while later dragging out talks over dismantling its nuclear infrastructure — all while preserving the ability to rapidly produce a nuclear weapon if it chooses.
