US President Donald Trump said there is a "good chance" diplomacy with Iran could lead to an agreement, signaling optimism after a temporary pause in fighting. His comments came as the United States watched for signs that talks could help end the conflict.
At the same time, Trump made clear that military pressure remains an option. He warned that US strikes could resume if diplomacy does not produce results, underscoring the balance his administration is trying to strike between negotiations and the threat of force.
The remarks suggest Washington sees an opening for renewed engagement during the three-day lull in hostilities. Even so, the warning about possible new strikes indicates that the situation remains unstable and that any diplomatic progress could be fragile.
The latest statement keeps attention on whether the pause in fighting can turn into broader talks with Iran. For now, Trump is presenting both a possible path to a deal and a reminder that the conflict could escalate again if efforts fail.
