Trump Signals Hope: Iran Peace Deal Could Happen by April End

Trump Says Iran Peace Deal by End of April Is ‘Highly Likely’: Report

Former U.S. Donald Trump said on Tuesday (local time) that a potential agreement with Iran could be within reach by the end of this month. He suggested that the deal might even be finalized around the time King Charles III is expected to visit the United States. This was reported by Sky News.

Speaking about the situation, Trump said, “It’s possible—very possible. They’ve been badly defeated. So yes, a deal could happen.”

His remarks came just days after talks between the United States and Iran, reportedly mediated by Pakistan, failed to produce any agreement. The discussions, which lasted over 21 hours in Islamabad, ended without a resolution, with both sides blaming each other for the breakdown.

Following the collapse of the talks, Trump warned of a blockade, which was reportedly put into action by the U.S. military on Monday evening. According to United States Central Command, more than 10,000 personnel, along with multiple warships and aircraft, have been deployed to monitor and restrict ships moving in and out of Iranian ports.

Trump’s remarks on U.S.–UK relations

While speaking to Sky News, Donald Trump also shared his thoughts on the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom. He claimed that ties between Washington, D.C. and London are “better than ever.”

However, Trump expressed frustration as well, saying that when the U.S. needed support, Britain was not always there. He suggested that even at times when support wasn’t required, the expected presence or backing was still missing, and according to him, that situation hasn’t really changed.

The sharp tone in Donald Trump’s remarks appears to stem from his differences with Keir Starmer over the ongoing tensions involving Iran. Starmer reportedly chose not to intervene or offer direct support to Trump, which seems to have added to the friction between the two leaders.

This situation unfolded after Trump called on the United Kingdom and other members of NATO to take part in the conflict and assist in reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The route had been blocked by Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and it holds global importance, as nearly one-fifth of the world’s oil supply passes through this critical waterway.

Despite the disagreements, the UK government has allowed the United States to use British bases for defensive operations and strikes. Trump has also previously criticized allied nations, arguing that they have not always stood firmly with the U.S., especially considering the sacrifices made by American forces and their partners in conflicts such as the Iraq War and the War in Afghanistan following the September 11 attacks.
