Iran denies deal with US is imminent despite some progress | US-Israel war on Iran

Iran's negotiating team spokesperson, Esmail Baghaei, stated that a complete agreement is not imminent despite reaching consensus on many issues. Baghaei also emphasized the need for a ceasefire in Lebanon and the US lifting of its blockade before any deal can be reached. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed optimism about a good deal but acknowledged unresolved problems. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump urged countries to join the Abraham Accords, claiming it would benefit all parties involved. However, experts like former US assistant secretary for near east affairs Barbara Leaf argued that this plan is unlikely to gain support from other nations. The situation remains complex with conflicting statements and political pressures hindering progress towards a deal.
