US and Iran remain in talks on war deal after 87 days

US President Donald Trump has instructed his representatives to exercise caution when negotiating a deal with Iran, citing ongoing disagreements over several key issues. According to reports from Iranian media outlets, tensions remain high as the two sides struggle to reach an agreement.

The US blockade on Iranian ships in the Strait of Hormuz is expected to continue until a comprehensive deal is reached and signed. Trump’s statement on Truth Social reflects this stance, emphasizing that any agreement would need to be certified and finalized before the blockade is lifted.

Iranian officials have expressed frustration with the US, claiming that parts of the proposed deal are still being obstructed. Specifically, Tehran’s demand for the release of frozen funds remains a point of contention.

The negotiations are stalled due to disagreements over several contentious issues, including Iran’s nuclear program, Israel’s involvement in Lebanon, and the lifting of sanctions on Iranian assets worth billions of dollars. The conflict has entered its 87th day, with no clear resolution in sight.

As the situation continues to unfold, officials from both sides remain engaged in talks aimed at reaching a mutually acceptable agreement.
