Trump announced on Thursday that planned military actions had been suspended after Iran’s top leadership, through international mediation efforts, allegedly approved the peace framework. However, Iranian officials have now contradicted that statement, saying the agreement remains under review and negotiations with the United States are continuing.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei described Trump’s assertion as misleading. Speaking to Iranian media, Baghaei said that while progress had been made on certain aspects of the negotiations, no final approval had been granted and the country’s leadership was still evaluating key provisions of the proposed deal.
“We have not yet reached a final decision. Important aspects of the agreement are still being reviewed by the relevant authorities,” Baghaei stated. He also accused Washington of repeatedly changing its position during the negotiation process.
The Iranian government further emphasized that it would not deviate from its core principles during the talks. Tehran’s response has cast doubt on Trump’s earlier claim that only formal signatures remained before the agreement could be finalized.
The development has renewed attention on how the US administration may respond. Trump had previously warned Iran of severe consequences if negotiations failed and suggested that military options remained on the table despite an existing ceasefire arrangement.
Earlier, Trump claimed that Iran’s supreme leadership had approved the framework, creating conditions for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the easing of maritime restrictions. He also expressed optimism that a final agreement could be signed in Europe within days.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that mediators had secured broad support for the proposed agreement from several regional and international stakeholders, including the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Türkiye, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, and Egypt. However, observers noted that Iran itself was not listed among the countries Trump said had approved the framework.
With Tehran now publicly denying that any final approval has been granted, uncertainty remains over the future of the negotiations and the broader stability of the Middle East region.
