TL;DR

President Donald Trump told Axios he still believes a deal with Iran could be signed over the weekend or by Monday, according to the report. The statement follows a series of similar predictions from the administration regarding a nuclear framework, though no final agreement has been announced.

01 · THE DISPATCH

President Donald Trump told Axios on Thursday evening that he still believes a deal with Iran could be signed over the weekend or by Monday. The remark is the latest in a long series of escalating predictions from the administration: as The Zioneer has reported across multiple bulletins over the past week, Trump has stated that a deal might be reached 'within a day or two' (June 9), that the US will 'finalize within days' (June 9), that 'a wonderful deal has been reached' and signing could occur in Europe with Vice President JD Vance attending (June 11), and that other countries have also agreed to a memorandum of understanding (June 11). Despite the repeated optimistic timetables, no signed agreement has yet been publicly confirmed. The latest statement — attributed by Trump to a conversation with Axios — maintains the same timeline but does not name the venue or include the level of detail that would indicate a firmer breakthrough. The White House and Axios have not published the full transcript or remarks.
