President Donald Trump declared early Tuesday that US diplomacy was in the "final efforts" of securing a deal with Iran to end the conflict in the Gulf, suggesting an agreement could be reached within days.

"We are in the final efforts of what is going to be a very, very good deal," Trump told reporters after attending an NBA finals game in New York, putting a timeline of "two to three days" on a potential agreement.

The optimistic tone from the White House comes amid continued military exchanges between Iran and Israel, raising questions about whether a diplomatic breakthrough can be achieved before the situation escalates further.

Trump has repeatedly predicted an imminent deal in recent weeks, only for negotiations to stall over core sticking points, including Iran's nuclear programme, its ballistic missile capabilities and its support for regional proxies. Whether this latest declaration of progress reflects genuine momentum or familiar presidential optimism remains to be seen.

The next 48 to 72 hours, if Trump's timeline holds, will be decisive.
