U.S. President Donald Trump stated that tangible results from the negotiations to end the war with Iran could emerge within two to three days.
According to AFP, President Trump told reporters while returning to the White House after watching an NBA Finals game in New York on June 9 (local time) that they are "in the final stages of reaching a very great deal."
When asked how long it would take to reach an agreement, he replied, "Two or three days."
Although President Trump did not provide specific details regarding the progress of the negotiations, he reportedly made similar remarks during a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the previous day.
The intention was to urge restraint from further military action against Iran, suggesting that a breakthrough in nuclear negotiations could be achieved within days.
Previously, the ceasefire negotiations between the U.S. and Iran faced a crisis as Israel and Iran exchanged retaliatory attacks.
Iran launched missiles in retaliation after Israel struck a Hezbollah stronghold in the southern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon, on the 7th.
It was the first time Iran had attacked the Israeli mainland since the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran took effect on April 8.
Israel also immediately retaliated, announcing that it had struck military targets in central and western Iran.
President Trump immediately stepped in to mediate, and eventually, both Iran and Israel announced their positions to cease attacks.
