Trump says talks with Iran continue and he thinks settlement will be reached
President Donald Trump said talks with Iran are continuing and that he believes a settlement will be reached. The statement keeps a diplomatic resolution in play, but leaves the timing and terms of any agreement open.
Trump said on Sept. 22 that discussions with Iran remain ongoing and that he expects the two sides to reach a settlement. His comments represent a stated assessment rather than a formal agreement, and no terms or timetable were specified.
The remarks come as Iran-related tensions remain central to U.S. foreign policy and energy-market attention. Recent regional developments have included conflicting signals over the Strait of Hormuz and the possible reopening of Saudi Arabia’s East-West oil pipeline after drone strikes.
For Washington and Tehran, the immediate connection is diplomatic: continued talks could address the issues separating the two governments, while a settlement would require agreement on terms that have not been identified. For energy markets, any change in the perceived risk to regional supply routes could affect expectations around oil flows.
The outcome remains uncertain because Trump offered a view on the prospects for a settlement rather than a completed deal. Tehran’s position, the scope of the talks and the timing of any announcement remain open questions.
The next signals are further statements from Washington or Tehran and any formal announcement of an agreement. Market attention will also remain on developments affecting the Strait of Hormuz and regional oil infrastructure.
Trump says talks with Iran continue and expects the two sides to reach a settlement.
The immediate market consequence depends on whether the statement develops into a formal agreement with terms that reduce regional uncertainty. Until Washington or Tehran produces a concrete framework, the comments support a diplomatic channel but do not establish a change in policy or supply conditions.
The read fails if talks break down or regional incidents escalate despite the diplomatic messaging.
