Middle East crisis live: Iran says no final peace agreement reached, after Trump claims deal could be signed soon

Former US President Donald Trump claimed on June 11, 2026, that a "great settlement" was reached between the US and Iran, potentially leading to a peace agreement. He stated that discussions had been approved by all involved parties, including the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, and Egypt. Trump also announced the cancellation of a third day of planned US airstrikes and bombings, citing the progress in high-level discussions with Iranian leadership. However, an Iranian spokesman contradicted these claims, stating that no final peace agreement had been reached. Axios reported that four US Air Force planes departed for Europe, reportedly heading to Geneva, where US Vice President JD Vance is expected to sign on behalf of Washington, according to sources familiar with the preparations. The reports suggest a possible signing ceremony was being prepared, though the finality of the agreement remained uncertain.
