Trump: a peace deal with Iran "is possible"
The US president said Iran wants to end the war that started after US‑Israeli strikes on Tehran on February 28.
President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that a peace agreement with Iran "is possible," signalling cautious optimism from Washington as mediators travel to Tehran.
Trump gave no further details about the talks. He tied the possibility of a deal to Iranian willingness to end the conflict that began after US‑Israeli strikes on Tehran on February 28.
A Qatari mediation team has travelled to Tehran to meet Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, the US said, as officials consider a draft agreement reportedly discussed during the past eight days of talks.

Vice President J.D. Vance said he and President Trump were "quite optimistic" about the prospects for reaching an accord to end the war. Vance added that he had discussed the matter with Trump and described the contacts with Tehran as productive.
"We have held several constructive talks with the Iranians," Vance said, noting that negotiations have continued in recent days but offering no timetable for a deal.
Officials emphasised that proposals remain under review and that the situation could change rapidly; a final agreement would require political approval in Washington.
