A US official, speaking on CBS News’ *Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan*, expressed confidence that a deal between the United States and Iran will be reached, despite a recent Israeli attack in Lebanon. The official, whose name is Hegseth, stated the question is not *if* an agreement will be signed, but *when*. He attributed potential delays to logistical considerations influencing the negotiation process. The comments suggest continued US efforts toward de-escalation and a potential agreement with Iran. This comes amid heightened regional tensions following the reported Israeli strike. The official’s statement offers a cautiously optimistic outlook on the possibility of a diplomatic resolution. Further details regarding the specifics of the potential agreement were not disclosed.
