31 mins agoTrump says Iran talks depend on ‘good deal’ as military tensions continue in Gulf
President Donald Trump said any agreement with Iran would depend on securing a “good deal” for the United States as negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear program intensify alongside continued military tensions in the Persian Gulf.
“A deal that wasn’t going to be good for us is the line,” Trump told Fox News host Lara Trump in an interview set to air this weekend. “I negotiate. They negotiate. They’re very good negotiators.”
The comments come as U.S. and Iranian negotiators reportedly reached a tentative 60-day memorandum of understanding extending the current ceasefire and launching broader nuclear talks, though the agreement still requires Trump’s final approval.
An All-Star Panel on Fox News’ ‘Special Report’ said the administration appears to be balancing pressure for a diplomatic breakthrough with ongoing military readiness as clashes between U.S. and Iranian forces continue near the Strait of Hormuz.
“We do not have unlimited patience,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Thursday, warning that if Trump determines a peace agreement is no longer possible, “kinetic is back on the table.”
The discussion comes after Iranian forces launched a missile toward Kuwait this week and Iranian state media falsely claimed Tehran had shot down a U.S. aircraft, a report later denied by U.S. officials and CENTCOM.
Panelists also debated whether a temporary ceasefire deal would sufficiently prevent Iran from rebuilding its nuclear capabilities, with concerns remaining over Tehran’s enriched uranium stockpiles and the role of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IGRC).
