President Donald Trump signaled that peace with Iran could be on the horizon very soon, thanks to a set of ultra-specific demands that have been agreed upon.
While speaking to reporters outside the White House on Thursday, Trump said that the US and Iran have a “good” chance of finalizing a peace deal in the coming days after the Islamic Republic agreed to two major demands put forward by the White House.
“It’s very important that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon, and they’ve agreed to that,” Trump told reporters as he left the White House for a two-day western trip.
“Iran’s agreed to that, and they’ve agreed to it very powerfully.”

Trump also teased that he may go to Pakistan himself to seal the agreement.
During his comments, Trump also claimed that Iran “agreed to give us back the nuclear dust that’s way underground because of the attack we made with the B-2 bombers.”
This is in reference to the roughly 970 pounds of enriched uranium buried under three Iranian nuclear sites damaged by US strikes on the country in June 2025.
Reports have been unable to confirm whether Iran has indeed agreed to give up its enriched uranium, under what terms, and to whom it would be surrendered.
However, Trump stated that Iran’s leadership was “willing to do things today that they weren’t willing to do two months ago.”
“Something’s going to happen, very positive,” he added.
“We’re moving very fast. It could happen pretty quickly.”
Trump told The New York Post earlier this week that he believes peace talks would resume in Pakistan this weekend.
Islamabad officials continue to travel to Iran and other countries in the Middle East to help make diplomatic discussions happen.
Pakistani Field Marshal Asim Munir went to Tehran on Wednesday and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is on a four-day tour to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey, to garner support for a deal.
“I might go,” Trump suggested during yesterday’s presser.
“Pakistan has been great. They’ve been so good.”
With the war in its seventh week, both sides are coming under economic pressure, while the cost of gas has skyrocketed around the world.
US forces have assassinated Iran’s supreme leader and other senior officials, along with hitting 13,000 targets — including more than 150 Iranian ships.
An initial round of talks in Pakistan last weekend failed to produce a deal after more than 20 hours of discussion, with Vice President JD Vance leading the US side.
