US President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that the United States is poised to finalize a nuclear agreement with Iran within days, declaring that a “total victory” over the Islamic Republic will be achieved within two weeks. The remarks were made during a tele-rally supporting Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, where Trump emphasized the impending resolution of negotiations.
“You’re really going to win this over the next two weeks when we declare total victory,” Trump stated. “It will happen very soon, and oil prices will drop significantly.” He further asserted that Iranian negotiators have signaled willingness to concede to all American demands, though specific terms of the agreement remain undisclosed.
Vice President JD Vance, appearing on Fox News, reiterated the administration’s stance on securing a long-term deal with Iran, prioritizing U.S. interests above regional dynamics. He acknowledged potential divergence in objectives with allies like Israel but stressed, “We will continue to advance this move because it is what the president was elected to do to serve the American people.”
As Vance articulated, “Israel may react favorable or unfavorably, but ultimately we believe it serves the interests of the United States.”
Trump reiterated confidence in the cessation of active hostilities between Iran and Israel, stating during an interview with Sky News, “I don’t think Israel will resume fighting Iran… Everything is going well.” His comments followed Israel’s recent strikes on Hezbollah targets in Beirut, which initially disrupted negotiations but, according to Trump, have now stabilized.
In remarks delivered after viewing Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden, Trump reiterated the urgency of finalizing the deal. “A deal with Iran could be completed within two or three days,” he said. “Iran and Israel have been exchanging blows, but through my mediation, both have agreed to halt.” He emphasized the agreement would prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, though details on verification mechanisms and concessions were not provided.
The developments come amid a tense backdrop, as Iranian forces fired projectiles at Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on April 13, prompting retaliatory strikes on Hezbollah infrastructure in Lebanon. Trump framed the exchange as a temporary setback, asserting that the U.S. remains committed to concluding a deal that aligns with its national security priorities.
