Trump says US-Iran talks are making progress

U.S. President Donald Trump said indirect talks between Washington and Tehran are progressing through Pakistani intermediaries, raising the prospect of a diplomatic opening even as military tensions remain high across the Gulf.

Trump told the Financial Times that an agreement with Iran “could happen soon,” suggesting momentum in backchannel contacts aimed at reducing hostilities. His remarks come after days of mixed signals, with Washington publicly threatening escalation while also pointing to possible diplomacy.
