President Donald Trump has repeatedly said the US and Iran are on the cusp of a deal to end their conflict. The reality has proven more elusive — in part because of the nature of the negotiations themselves.
The latest instance came Thursday, when Trump claimed that a deal was imminent, telling reporters that an agreement could be signed as early as this weekend. Iran rejected Trump’s claims, with its semi-official Fars news agency reporting that the regime’s leaders had not approved any text with the US.
