US President Donald Trump withdrew his threat of further strikes against Iran on Thursday and said a deal with Tehran to end the war could be signed in the coming days.

Claiming that talks with Iran had been "brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved," Trump said he had "cancelled the scheduled strikes and bombings against Iran this evening."

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on Thursday that to date, Iran has not reached a final conclusion on the agreement and that all the issues raised in the Iran-US agreement were speculation.

According to Israeli media reports, a senior Israeli official stated on Thursday that Israel has not received any notification that a US-Iran agreement has been finalized.
