US President Donald Trump said that the United States and Iran are "getting a lot closer" to an agreement to end the war in the Middle East.
Talking to CBS in a phone interview on Saturday, the US president also warned that if the US and Iran do not come to an agreement, there will be "a situation where no country will ever be hit as hard as they're about to be hit."
Earlier, on Saturday, two regional officials and a diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity, also confirmed that an agreement on a memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the war is within reach.
Iran signalled “narrowing differences” in negotiations with the US after Pakistan’s army chief held more talks in Tehran, and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told journalists in India that “there’s been some progress made" and “there may be news later today.”
According to the same officials, a final decision on the Pakistan-drafted proposal could come within 48 hours as both sides review it.,
