Trump says Iran deal must serve US interests amid ongoing tensions

Trump says any agreement with Iran must favor US interests, as tensions persist and uncertainty surrounds ceasefire, negotiations, and military developments.

Donald Trump said any potential agreement with Iran would only move forward if it is “appropriate and beneficial” to the United States and its allies.

Speaking amid continued tensions, Trump criticized U.S. media coverage of the conflict, arguing that Washington has strategic patience while Tehran faces increasing pressure over time.

He also repeated claims that Iran’s military capabilities have been significantly weakened, though Iranian officials have not confirmed such assessments and continue to project defensive readiness.

The remarks come after the recent extension of a fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran, brokered through regional mediation, including diplomatic efforts involving Pakistan.

Despite the ceasefire, U.S. forces have maintained a naval presence near the Strait of Hormuz, aiming to restrict Iranian oil exports and increase leverage in negotiations.

Iran has responded cautiously, signaling openness to talks but insisting that sanctions relief and an end to maritime pressure are necesarry preconditions for any meaningful negotiations.

Analysts say both sides are balancing military signaling with diplomatic outreach, leaving the outcome uncertain as talks remain indirect and trust between Washington and Tehran remains low.
