US President Donald Trump said negotiations with Iran were “right on the borderline” ,
as Washington weighed a possible peace deal against renewed military action.
Speaking to reporters at Joint Base Andrews near Washington, Trump said the United States was prepared to move quickly,
if Iran failed to provide what he called the “right answers”.
“It’s right on the borderline, believe me,” Trump said while discussing ongoing negotiations with Tehran.
He added that a deal could happen “very quickly, or in a few days”.
Trump Iran talks remain uncertain
The Trump Iran talks come weeks after a ceasefire temporarily reduced tensions following military escalation involving the US, Israel and Iran.
Trump warned that the US remained ready for further strikes if diplomacy collapsed.
He said Washington would only accept “100 percent good answers” from Tehran during the negotiations.
Reports suggested Pakistan and Qatar were helping mediate discussions between both sides.
According to Axios and other international reports, mediators are working on a possible letter of intent,
that could open the door for broader negotiations on Iran’s nuclear programme and the Strait of Hormuz.
Oil prices dropped sharply after Trump signalled that diplomacy could still succeed.
Brent crude and US oil futures both declined as investors reacted positively to hopes of avoiding another round of conflict in the Middle East.

Iran remains firm on key demands
Iranian officials said Tehran remained open to diplomacy but would not surrender under pressure.
President Masoud Pezeshkian reportedly said forcing Iran into submission through coercion was an “illusion”.
Major disagreements continue over uranium enrichment, sanctions relief and access to the Strait of Hormuz,
one of the world’s most important oil shipping routes.
Trump also reportedly held a tense call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding future military strategy against Iran.
Reports said Netanyahu pushed for stronger military action while Trump preferred continuing diplomatic efforts for now.
The Trump Iran talks are now being closely watched by global markets as any escalation could further impact oil prices,
shipping routes and geopolitical stability across the region.
