Former U.S. President Donald Trump has indicated that a deal with Iran is ‘very close’ and suggested he might travel to Pakistan to finalize the agreement, according to sources familiar with the discussions. The remarks, made during a private meeting, have sparked speculation about a potential breakthrough in long-stalled negotiations with Tehran.
Analysts note that Trump’s comments come amid heightened regional tensions and ongoing efforts to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, which he withdrew from during his presidency. ‘This could signal a significant shift in U.S. policy towards Iran,’ said a senior diplomatic source, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter.
Officials in Pakistan have not confirmed any plans for hosting such a signing ceremony, but sources suggest backchannel communications have been active. The White House has yet to issue an official statement regarding Trump’s claims.
If confirmed, this development could have far-reaching implications for Middle East diplomacy and global oil markets, where Iran’s potential return to the international fold has been closely watched.
