Trump claims US has ‘ended the war’ with Iran, even as Tehran says no decision reached

US President Donald Trump tells his supporters that the US has “ended the war” with Iran, even as Tehran says it has not yet reached a final decision on the deal with Washington currently on the table.

“I don’t know if you heard, but we ended the war with Iran today,” Trump tells his supporters at a virtual rally for a Georgia gubernatorial candidate, in remarks recorded by CNN.

He claims Iran has “agreed never to have a nuclear weapon, something that we insisted on.”

Iran has always denied that it is seeking to obtain nuclear weapons, but has stockpiles of uranium enriched to a degree that has no peaceful application.

Iran has disputed Trump’s claim, with foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei saying that the Islamic Republic “has not reached a final conclusion on the agreement.”
