Representatives of both countries will probably meet over the weekend, Trump says, telling AFP that there are no stumbling blocks left that could derail an agreement.
"There are no obstacles," he tells the news agency, and continues:
"It looks like it will be very good for everyone."
Prohibits Israel from bombing
He states on Truth Social that Iran has agreed "to never again close the Strait of Hormuz", but that the US naval blockade of Iran will continue until the parties are "100 percent" done with the peace agreement.
"That process should go very quickly as most points have already been negotiated," he continues.
On the same platform, he thanks Pakistan, which mediated, and its Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, whom he calls a "fantastic person".
The agreement being hammered out does not touch on Israel's war with Lebanon, he points out, but he says the US will separately "work" on Lebanon and an agreement with Hezbollah. He adds that Israel "will no longer bomb Lebanon."
The US president writes, partly in capital letters, "They (Israel) are forbidden by the US to do so. Enough is enough!!!".
Rejects money details
He also denies previous reports from Axios that the US is negotiating to give Iran access to currently frozen assets worth $20 billion in exchange for Iran handing over nearly 2,000 kilograms of enriched uranium. That would specifically apply to all of the country's uranium enriched to 60 percent, which, according to the UN atomic energy agency (IAEA), was 440.9 kilograms in June last year.
"The US will get all the 'nuclear dust.' No money will change hands in any way," he writes.
