Donald Trump said on Saturday that negotiators from the United States and Iran were nearing a possible agreement aimed at ending months of conflict and preventing Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
In an interview with CBS News, Trump said a final deal would ensure Iran’s enriched uranium was “satisfactorily handled” and would stop Tehran from developing nuclear weapons capabilities.
Trump stressed that any agreement would only move forward if Washington secured all of its demands.
“I will only sign a deal where we get everything we want,” he was quoted as saying.
The remarks come as diplomatic efforts intensify following nearly three months of war and weeks of indirect negotiations involving Iran, the United States, and mediator Pakistan.
Decision on war could come soon
In a separate interview with Axios, Trump said he planned to review the latest draft agreement with advisers on Saturday and could decide by Sunday whether to resume military action.
“Either we reach a good deal or I’ll blow them to a thousand hells,” Trump said, according to Axios.
The statement reflects Trump’s continued hardline approach while simultaneously pursuing diplomatic negotiations with Tehran.
Ceasefire opened door for negotiations
The ongoing talks began after a ceasefire was declared six weeks ago, pausing hostilities to allow discussions on Iran’s nuclear programme and regional security issues.
One of the major issues under discussion is the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil and gas shipping route currently controlled by Tehran.
Pakistan has also been involved in mediation efforts, with officials from all sides indicating on Saturday that progress had been made in negotiations.
The latest comments suggest diplomacy remains active, although uncertainty continues over whether the talks will ultimately lead to a long-term agreement or renewed conflict.
