Washington. President Donald Trump said there was a “very good chance” the United States could reach a new agreement with Iran to prevent Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons, after postponing a planned U.S. military strike to allow negotiations to continue.
U.S. President Donald Trump delivers these remarks on the White House campus in Washington, D.C. and said several Middle Eastern allies urged Washington to give diplomacy more time before launching any military action. He also warned that the United States remains prepared for a “full, large-scale assault” if talks fail.
The developments come amid ongoing tensions over Iran’s nuclear program and months of indirect negotiations between Washington and Tehran. Iranian officials are reportedly seeking sanctions relief and the release of frozen funds as part of any future agreement.
Global markets reacted cautiously to the news, with oil prices easing after Trump’s announcement raised hopes of avoiding a wider regional conflict.
