Iran has pushed back against claims that a breakthrough deal with the United States is close, cooling speculation fueled by former U.S. President Donald Trump. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said Tehran and Washington have reached conclusions on “a large portion” of disputed issues, but stressed that no one can claim an agreement is imminent. Reports suggest the proposed framework could include a 60-day ceasefire extension, reopening the Strait of Hormuz to global shipping, and fresh negotiations over Iran’s nuclear programme. However, the deal still requires approval from Iran’s top leadership, including Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, potentially delaying any final breakthrough.

00:00I have spoken, I have spoken on this matter on many occasions in the past.
00:04Your collective power serves as the ultimate guarantee.
00:07It is the profound lesson the Iranian nation has taught to the aggressors.
00:12Instead of the team's plan, ask about the overarching plan of the Iranian nation and the Islamic Republic.
00:20The negotiators and the entire diplomatic apparatus are essential parts of the government,
00:25tasked with very specific duties within the broad field of international diplomacy.
00:32The two points you mentioned first, yes, those are accurate.
00:37The negotiations are focused on ending the war, and at this stage, we are not discussing the details of the
00:44nuclear issue.
00:47All these constant threats and all these mounting pressures and these portrayals
00:54and the publishing of such caricatures, well, that is really just a part of Malembo,
01:01the complex political landscape that currently exists on that side of the globe.
01:05We continue to pursue our work directly within the field of action,
01:09always observing the objective realities as they truly are,
01:12regardless of how the other side chooses to perceive or portray them to the rest of the world.
01:20If we were to spend the entirety of our time just responding to every single one of those tweets,
01:25and then, as I have previously stated,
01:31if we were to address every image and narrative our opponents put out,
01:36we would not have time for more important matters.
01:39As I mentioned, we are focused on designing and advancing the best strategies
01:45to safeguard and protect Iran's national interests.
01:50She will respond whenever necessary.
01:53We have our own style.
01:55We're not about to copy the methods and tactics of the enemy.
02:02As a civilized nation,
02:08the Zionist regime doesn't even see itself as part of this region.
02:13So, initiatives like normalization are just attempts to impose
02:18an artificial and illegitimate entity on the region.
02:25And the consequences will be felt by the entire region
02:29and, in a way, the whole world.
02:31Unfortunately, the situation we're in right now
02:34is a clear example of the results of the Zionist regime's actions
02:39backed by the U.S. in our region.
02:42A new nuclear standoff is rapidly unfolding between Washington and Tehran.
02:49Iran has now drawn a hard red line,
02:53refusing to surrender its stockpile of highly enriched uranium,
02:57despite ongoing negotiations with the United States.
03:02And the message from Tehran is unmistakable.
03:05The uranium is staying inside Iran.
03:08According to a senior Iranian source speaking to Reuters,
03:13Iran's nuclear stockpile is not part of the current preliminary agreement
03:18being negotiated with the Trump administration.
03:21The source says Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has personally ordered that the enriched uranium
03:28must never leave Iranian territory under any circumstances.
03:33That directly clashes with repeated statements from President Donald Trump.
03:38Trump has publicly vowed that the United States will not allow Iran to retain the material.
03:44We will get it.
03:46We don't need it.
03:47We don't want it.
03:48We'll probably destroy it after we get it, but we're not going to let them have it.
03:53At the center of the dispute is Iran's growing stockpile of near-weapons-grade uranium.
03:59Western officials estimate Tehran currently possesses roughly 900 pounds,
04:05or more than 400 kilograms, of highly enriched material.
04:09The United States views the stockpile as a direct proliferation threat,
04:14arguing it could significantly shorten Iran's pathway to a nuclear weapon.
04:19But Iran insists its nuclear program remains peaceful,
04:24and says the uranium issue will only be discussed in later, more comprehensive negotiations.
04:30For now, talks between Washington and Tehran have focused mainly on ending the war,
04:36reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and easing economic pressure.
04:40The emerging framework, reportedly mediated in part through Pakistani channels,
04:46would establish a formal ceasefire, reduce naval tensions,
04:50and unlock portions of frozen Iranian funds.
04:54But behind the scenes, the deepest disagreement remains the nuclear file.
04:58American negotiators insist removal or destruction of Iran's enriched uranium is essential.
05:06Tehran refuses, and that gap is now threatening to undermine the fragile diplomatic progress already made.
05:14Analysts say Iran's refusal reflects deep mistrust after years of sanctions,
05:21covert operations, and military confrontation.
05:24From Tehran's perspective, the stockpile is both leverage and insurance.
05:30But for Washington, allowing Iran to keep it could be politically and strategically unacceptable.
05:37The world may be witnessing the early stages of another dangerous nuclear showdown,
05:43at a moment when the Middle East is already balancing on the edge of wider conflict.
