A senior Trump administration official has indicated an 80% to 85% probability that the United States will sign a peace deal with Iranian officials within days. U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Iran's assets will remain frozen and sanctions will continue to be in place until a final peace deal is reached. Trump also indicated a willingness to speak with Iran's leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, after such an agreement is finalized.

In parallel, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi rejected a U.S. proposal to use Iranian assets for reconstruction in Gulf states. Gharibabadi described the proposal as a 'new internationally wrongful act' and warned that Iran would take an 'appropriate response.' The U.S. had reportedly explored redirecting frozen Iranian funds to compensate allies for damages attributed to Iran.

The 2015 Iran nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was designed to limit Iran's nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief. Key provisions of the JCPOA included restrictions on uranium enrichment and plutonium production, along with extensive monitoring by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

The report also raises questions about potential Republican support for any new agreement with Iran. The current stance from President Trump suggests a linkage between sanctions relief and the finalization of a peace deal.
