President Donald Trump said an agreement with Iran could be reached within two days, signaling potential breakthrough in high-stakes negotiations to end the conflict that erupted in February.
I think we will get a deal in the next day or two

The optimistic timeline comes as representatives from both countries prepare for weekend talks, though no specific date has been confirmed by the White House. Pakistan is facilitating the negotiations after hosting an initial round in Islamabad last weekend that ended without concrete results.
A US maritime blockade against Iranian vessels remains in effect following the failed talks. Trump declared the blockade would continue until any transaction with Iran reaches completion, while Tehran has threatened reciprocal measures in response.
Iran announced the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, though vessel traffic data shows approximately 20 ships — including container vessels, bulk carriers, and tankers — moving toward the strategic waterway. Whether these ships will be allowed passage remains unclear.
Daily Sabah presents a balanced diplomatic perspective, emphasizing the procedural aspects of negotiations and Pakistan's mediating role. As a regional power balancing relationships with both Washington and Tehran, Turkey's outlet focuses on the technical details of talks rather than taking sides, reflecting Ankara's interest in regional stability without alienating either party.
