Trump claims deal to end Iran war near as Tehran says 'nothing' finalised

Trump claims deal to end Iran war near as Tehran says 'nothing' finalised

Iran says reports of a deal are "speculative" after the US president says a "great settlement" to end the conflict has been reached.

US President Donald Trump claimed an agreement to end the war with Iran was close on Thursday, hours after cancelling a third consecutive night of strikes.

Trump had declared the US would strike Iran "very hard", but hours later said his negotiators had "just made a great settlement" with Iran.

He told reporters it was "subject to finalisation of documents, which should get done, over the next few days" and that there would "probably" be a signing ceremony in Europe.
