Trump emphasized that if Iran were to back out of negotiations, they would face a strong response. He mentioned that military action remains a viable option if diplomatic efforts fail. Trump's comments followed a recent decision to postpone a planned military strike on Iran after requests from Tehran and other Middle Eastern countries for more time to negotiate regarding the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's nuclear program. He described the negotiations as 'very good,' despite Iranian officials denying direct talks with the U.S. and stating that discussions were occurring through intermediaries in Oman. Trump criticized previous administrations for their handling of the nuclear issue and expressed his determination to achieve a resolution. He indicated that the initial focus of negotiations would be on reopening the Strait of Hormuz before addressing Iran's nuclear ambitions.
