What did Trump claim about the Iran peace deal, and what immediate action did he take regarding military strikes?

Trump claimed he had 'just made a great settlement of the war with Iran' and said an agreement to extend the fragile April ceasefire would be finalised 'over the next few days'; he also announced he had called off new military strikes on Iran hours after threatening to escalate by seizing control of Iran's oil industry.

How did Iran's Foreign Ministry respond to Trump's announcement of a near-final deal?

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei stated on state television that while the text of a deal was 'mostly finalised', 'the contradictions in America’s position has caused turbulence to this process', and emphasized that nothing had been finalised to end the conflict that began on February 28.
