President Donald Trump expressed growing confidence Wednesday that a breakthrough with Iran could be imminent, suggesting that negotiators are nearing an agreement and that a deal could potentially be finalized within days.

Speaking to reporters, Trump said discussions with Tehran have been progressing favorably and indicated that momentum is building toward a formal agreement.

“I hear the negotiations with Iran are going very well. If a deal happens with Iran it could be done over the weekend,” Trump told reporters, adding that Iran is “close” to signing the papers.

The president also said one of Washington’s key objectives is securing control of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile, a goal he believes could soon be achieved.

When questioned about the status of the ceasefire following Iran’s overnight attack on Kuwait, Trump suggested the incident must be viewed in a broader context and maintained that the situation remains fluid.

“There’s a reason for everything, and we hit them pretty hard”, while also acknowledging that “anything can happen when you are dealing with Iran.”

Trump’s remarks followed his repeated insistence that diplomatic contacts between the United States and Iran have not been interrupted despite reports suggesting otherwise.

On Tuesday, the president rejected claims that discussions over Iran’s nuclear program had been halted.

In a Truth Social post, Trump emphasized that negotiations have continued uninterrupted and said the responsibility now rests with Iran to move toward an agreement.

“Fake News Reports that the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the U.S.A., stopped speaking a few days ago are false and erroneous,” wrote Trump.

He added, “The conversations between us have been going on continuously, including four days ago, three days ago, two days ago, one day ago, and today. Where they lead, one never knows, but as I told Iran, ‘It’s time, one way or another, for you to make a Deal. You’ve been doing this for 47 years, and it cannot be allowed to go on any longer!’”

The president’s comments came after reports from Iranian media outlets claimed that Tehran had suspended indirect talks with Washington due to Israel’s expanding military campaign in Lebanon.

Trump subsequently pushed back against those reports and reiterated that diplomatic engagement remains active.

“Talks are continuing, at a rapid pace, with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

The president struck a similarly optimistic tone during an interview with ABC News, where he predicted that a broader understanding with Iran could be reached soon.

According to Trump, he expects an agreement to preserve the ceasefire and restore shipping through the Strait of Hormuz “over the next week.”
