U.S. President Donald Trump has said he is not in a hurry to reach an agreement with Iran, emphasizing his preference for a diplomatic deal over military action. In an interview with Fox News, Trump stated that the United States is aiming for a 'great deal' with Iran, but if that fails, military options remain on the table.

Trump described Iran’s leadership as 'very tough negotiators' and noted that the U.S. is gradually achieving its desired goals. He stressed that rushing into negotiations could prevent a good deal, adding that patience is key to securing favorable terms. Trump also said that a successful agreement would save many lives and allow the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

The remarks, reported by Al Jazeera, reflect Trump’s cautious approach toward Iran, balancing diplomatic engagement with the threat of force if negotiations do not yield results.
