US President Donald Trump on Monday said Iran is eager to reach an agreement with the United States, expressing confidence that any eventual deal would benefit both Washington and its allies.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump criticized political opponents and some members of his own party, arguing that public commentary on ongoing negotiations was making diplomatic efforts more difficult.
“Iran really wants to make a deal, and it will be a good one for the USA and those that are with us,” Trump wrote. He accused Democrats and certain Republicans of undermining negotiations by repeatedly calling for different approaches, ranging from accelerating talks to pursuing military action.
“Just sit back and relax, it will all work out well in the end — it always does,” he added.
The remarks come amid continuing diplomatic efforts and heightened security concerns in West Asia.
As per US media, Trump sought further revisions to a proposed agreement with Iran aimed at extending a ceasefire and creating conditions for renewed negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear programme.
The latest draft includes a 60-day cessation of hostilities, measures to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and a framework for restarting talks on Iran’s nuclear activities. However, no final agreement has been announced.
A high-level meeting at the White House on Friday reportedly ended without a definitive decision, with Trump requesting additional changes to the proposal.
The US President reiterated that preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons remains a non-negotiable condition of any potential agreement.
“The one guarantee that I have to have is that there will be no nuclear weapons,” Trump said during an interview with Fox News.
He also indicated that his administration was not under pressure to conclude negotiations quickly, stating that he was in “no hurry” to finalize a deal.
A White House official echoed that position, saying, “President Trump will only make a deal that is good for America and satisfies his red lines.”
Meanwhile, reports indicate that Iran has restored access to significant portions of its underground missile infrastructure following months of excavation and repair work.
According to CNN, the development underscores the limitations of previous US military efforts that focused on blocking access to underground facilities by targeting tunnel entrances.
