Iran and Israel dispute Trump deal-approval claim

Times of Israel reported that Fars, citing a source close to Iran's negotiating team, said Iran had not approved an initial deal with the U.S. A separate Israeli official told Channel 12 that Jerusalem had not been made aware of a finalized U.S.-Iran deal after Trump claimed all parties had approved terms.

Why this matters. This is the verification brake on the strike pause: if Tehran or Israel contests approval, the market rally and strike cancellation can reverse quickly. Watch for named Iranian, Israeli, Qatari, Pakistani, or U.S. officials and actual text.
