Trump says Iran wants a deal after earlier outreach

The comments come amid unresolved questions over Iran nuclear talks and the ability to sustain a ceasefire as tensions near the Strait of Hormuz continue.

Forexlive reports that US President Donald Trump said Iran called the United States earlier and that Iran wants to reach a deal.

The outlet frames the remarks as familiar bargaining rhetoric seen previously during efforts to strike a compromise around a ceasefire, suggesting the messaging could be read as a signal toward de escalation for markets.

Forexlive cautions that the broader issues remain unresolved, including whether any ceasefire or memorandum of understanding can continue if Iran threatens security in the Strait of Hormuz and if Israel continues attacks on Lebanon.

The outlet also notes that the nuclear and uranium issue appears far apart between the parties, and it points to timing expectations that have not yet produced progress, saying the sides had 60 days but only about three weeks have passed without clear movement.
