US President Donald Trump said the United States is having "good talks" with Tehran and suggested there is a real chance of reaching an agreement over the conflict involving Iran. His remarks pointed to a diplomatic opening at a time when tensions remain high.
At the same time, Trump made clear that the military threat has not disappeared. He warned that US strikes would resume if the negotiations fail to produce results, signaling that Washington is pairing diplomacy with the possibility of renewed force.
The latest comments came as drone attacks hit countries neighbouring Iran, adding to concerns that the regional fallout from the dispute could widen. That backdrop increases the pressure on both sides as talks continue and raises the stakes for any breakthrough.
For now, the message from Washington is a mix of optimism and warning. Trump is presenting the US-Iran talks as productive, but he is also leaving little doubt that failure at the negotiating table could quickly return the conflict to a more dangerous phase.
