U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he may travel to Islamabad if a deal with Iran to end the ongoing conflict is finalised, claiming that Tehran has agreed to most terms under discussion.
Speaking to reporters at the White House before departing for a trip to Nevada and Arizona, Trump struck an optimistic tone, suggesting that negotiations were progressing toward a resolution.
“If a deal is signed in Islamabad, I may go. They want me,” he said.
Trump also indicated that the current U.S.-Iran ceasefire, which is set to expire next week, could be extended if necessary, though he suggested it may not be required if an agreement is reached in time.
He further claimed, without providing evidence, that Iran has agreed to give up its enriched uranium, which is believed to be stored following previous U.S.-Israeli airstrikes.
The proposed deal is expected to focus on ending the conflict and curbing Iran’s nuclear programme, with Washington pushing for Tehran to fully abandon its nuclear ambitions.
