Trump Fine-Tunes Iran Deal With Gulf Allies

Negotiations between the United States and Iran over ending their escalating conflict are entering a critical phase, with a Pakistani security official revealing that a formal agreement framework is being finalized, as New York Post reports.

The official disclosed to Reuters that “an MoU is being fine-tuned,” referring to a Memorandum of Understanding between the two nations. The diplomatic push follows military escalations that intensified on February 28, when US and Israeli forces conducted airstrikes targeting Tehran.

Negotiations Focus on 14-Point Plan

Negotiating teams from both sides have been working through a comprehensive 14-point proposal designed to establish a lasting ceasefire and reduce regional tensions. The talks represent a significant diplomatic effort amid heightened military posturing from multiple parties.

Trump Signals Optimism but Stands Firm

President Trump characterized the negotiating momentum as positive, telling CBS News that the parties were “getting a lot closer” to agreement. However, he made clear that any final deal must meet American objectives entirely.

“I will only sign a deal where we get everything we want,” the President stated, adding a stark warning: “We’re going to have a deal, or we’re going to have a situation where no country will ever be hit as hard as they’re about to be hit.”

High-Level Diplomatic Activity

President Trump scheduled a Saturday call with Gulf state allies to assess the negotiation progress. He also planned to meet with senior advisors Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, both instrumental in the talks.

Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance returned to Washington on Saturday from his Cincinnati home, with his security detail captured traveling toward the White House, indicating intensive diplomatic coordination at the highest levels of government.
