US Iran War Live updates are critical for American and international followers as Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi announced Friday that a peace deal to extend ceasefire, reopen Hormuz Strait, and negotiate Iran’s nuclear program has never been this close to the final stage, with US officials estimating 80-85% chance of signing in coming days, though frozen assets and uranium disposal remain unresolved.
The latest updates on US Iran War Live are the most important questions for international politics and American followers, as Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi said on Friday that a deal to extend the ceasefire with the US, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and begin negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program “has never been this close to the final stage.”
Why this is important: Aragchi’s comment on ‘X’ (X) was the most positive response from Tehran so far, indicating the possibility of a deal in the coming days. This statement appears to have been made with the goal of preventing the deal from falling apart during the struggle to shift public opinion about the deal.
Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, one of the key mediators between the US and Iran, posted on ‘X’ that “agreement has been reached on the draft peace treaty” and Pakistan is working on next steps with the involved parties.
A senior US official told reporters on Friday: “We haven’t reached the final stage yet, but we are very close.” The official further said:
“We expect the deal to be signed in the coming days… Maybe I said there was a 75% chance this morning. Now it’s probably around 80-85%, but it’s not 100%.”
Aragchi later told state TV that if the deal is agreed upon, it will be signed remotely rather than at a joint ceremony.
Main context of the news: President Trump initially expressed strong dissatisfaction on Friday with reports about deal details in Iran’s state media; but later in a brief conversation with ‘Axios’, he said Aragchi’s post was “extremely positive.”
Trump said he had demanded a public explanation from state media reports. These reports claimed that Iran would immediately get back its frozen billions in assets after the deal is signed.
Trump also claimed that Iran privately apologized for “publishing incorrect information.” How exactly that message was conveyed remains unclear.
The President said he still thinks the deal could be signed on Saturday-Sunday or Monday.
US Iran War Live: Trump’s Tough Statement
Trump said:
“The Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding has never been this close to being finalized. Before it’s finalized, media should avoid speculating about its details. According to our responsible and transparent approach, all details will be presented to the public at the right time,”
Aragchi wrote this. This happened after Trump posted on ‘Truth Social’, where he said:
“The conditions Iran put out… have nothing to do with the conditions accepted in written form.”
“Dealing with them is like dealing with extremely dishonest people. There is no such thing as ‘dealing in good faith’ with them,” Trump wrote and added: “They should fix their behavior, and immediately!”
Sharif wrote that groups “trying to blow up the peace treaty” are running a campaign to spread wrong information, but “peace has never been this close.”
Aragchi later told state TV that Iran has won the war and will emerge stronger from it. He said the deal has not been signed yet and changes are possible, but he argued this MOU is beneficial for Iran.
Implication: Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Friday afternoon that Iran’s decision-making bodies are still discussing, but agreement has been reached on most issues with the US and internal deliberation is at the final stage.
A senior US official told reporters that most people in power in Iran’s “extremely complex” system are willing to sign the deal, but some officials are complaining at the internal level that the deal is not strong enough.
“We see broad consensus among the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps), hardline groups, and civilian leadership that this is a good and acceptable deal,”
The US official said the White House has received information from Iran’s civilian and military officials that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is “satisfied with the current situation”. Two sources told ‘Axios’ that by Friday evening, the deal had received high-level approval from Iran’s side, but Khamenei may not have approved it.

Both sides are now saying the deal is close, but efforts to build public opinion around it could become obstacles to actually signing the deal.
The biggest difference between Iran and US claims about this deal is about what will happen to Iran’s frozen billions in funds. Iran claims its frozen amount will be released immediately, while the US says this is only possible in exchange for nuclear concessions.
Vice President Vance firmly stated that “economic benefits” will only come “after Iran fulfills its responsibilities”; he also criticized those criticizing the deal based on “social media posts from anonymous sources”.
Notable point: A US official said that in the past two weeks, the US has convinced Iran to provide “more clarity” on its commitment to destroy and dispose of enriched uranium; in this process, Trump himself was involved in “defining the language” of the terms and conditions.
“On the nuclear issue, we only had verbal assurances before, but now we have a written draft that both sides should be satisfied with,”
the official said.
US Iran War Live: Main Question — Technical Negotiations
But the main question is: Will a detailed plan be truly created through two months of negotiations to dispose of Iran’s enriched uranium, limit enrichment, and shut down Iran’s nuclear projects.
“How exactly will this be done? It will take some time to figure that out. We’re not going to go there and immediately start taking it out with a backhoe and a guy with a bag on his back. In the further technical negotiations, we’ll determine exactly how to do this work,”
the official said.
US Iran War Live — Peace Deal 80-85% Likely, But Not 100%
US Iran War Live are the most important questions for American and international followers, and the US-Iran peace deal “has never been this close to the final stage.” Abbas Aragchi and Trump are positive on the possibility of ceasefire, but US senior officials say the chance is 80-85%, but not 100%.
American followers, US Iran War Live means the peace deal is likely to happen in the coming days, but questions about Iran’s frozen assets and enriched uranium disposal are still not decisive. Technical negotiations are still ongoing, and the deal signing could happen on Saturday-Sunday or Monday.
