President Donald Trump said Sunday that negotiators should not rush a potential deal with Iran [1].
The statement arrives as the U.S. government seeks a sustainable resolution to long-standing tensions with Tehran. A rushed agreement could lead to flaws in the final terms, potentially undermining U.S. national security or regional stability.
Trump posted the update on his social-media platform, Truth Social, where he addressed the ongoing U.S.–Iran negotiations [1]. He said that "constructive talks are underway but both sides must take their time and get it right" [1].
Despite the ongoing discussions, the president said that he remains committed to the blockade [2]. This position suggests that while the U.S. is open to a peace deal, it will not lift existing pressures until the terms are satisfactory.
Reports regarding the timeline of an agreement have varied. Some sources suggest a final peace agreement is not imminent [1], while other reports indicate a deal to end the Iran war appears close [3].
Trump told his representatives not to rush into any agreement [2]. By emphasizing a slower pace, the president aims to avoid the pitfalls of previous diplomatic efforts that may have been finalized too quickly to be effective.
“"constructive talks are underway but both sides must take their time and get it right."”
The president's caution reflects a strategy of 'maximum pressure' combined with diplomatic openness. By publicly resisting a rushed deal and maintaining the blockade, the U.S. administration attempts to maintain leverage over Iranian negotiators to secure more stringent concessions.
