US President Donald Trump hinted at a potential deal with Iran that could prevent military strikes. The comments came after a US naval battle group was deployed to the Persian Gulf region, amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran.
Trump's remarks on Saturday indicated that Iranian officials are engaging in talks with the US. However, he didn't specify what kind of agreement might be reached or whether the negotiations would be successful. Trump expressed skepticism about Iran's willingness to negotiate, saying "some people think" Tehran would benefit from backing away from military action but also acknowledging that others believe otherwise.
Meanwhile, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei warned that any US attack on the country would lead to a regional conflict, with far-reaching consequences. In contrast, Trump downplayed the significance of Khamenei's warning, suggesting it was predictable and hoping for a positive outcome from negotiations.
Iran has been struggling to suppress anti-government protests, which have claimed dozens of lives. The nation's president stated that Iran had never sought war, but rather seeks peace and stability. Despite these assurances, tensions between the US and Iran remain high, with Washington considering military action as an option.
The deployment of a US naval battle group has raised concerns about the potential for direct confrontation between the two nations. Iranian officials have warned that any US attack would be met with swift retaliation, including missile strikes on US bases, ships, and allies in the region.
Iran's leaders have reiterated their willingness to engage in nuclear talks, provided that their missiles and defense capabilities are not on the agenda. The EU has designated Iran's Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization, which Tehran considers an unjustified move.
The situation remains volatile, with protests growing across the country. Iranian officials have expressed concerns about foreign interference and urged citizens to remain calm. Trump's remarks have sparked renewed debate over whether military action is necessary or if diplomatic efforts can resolve the crisis.
