Trump: Iran Peace Deal Could Be Signed This Weekend

U.S. President Donald Trump says a peace agreement with Iran "could be signed over the weekend" and may take place in Europe. "I understand that Iran's supreme leader has approved the deal," Trump said. The statement came after another day of conflicting reports. At around 2 p.m. Thursday, Trump announced he would attack Iran with a new force overnight Friday. He also claimed the U.S. would "take" Iran's Kharg Island within days. Iran responded with threats of an escalated war in the Middle East if the U.S. carried out more attacks. But at 7:30 p.m., Trump reversed course. He canceled the planned attack and said an agreement had been reached at the "highest level" with Iranian leadership. Iran's Fars news agency initially denied a deal was in place, but later reported there is a high probability Iran will accept it.
