President Trump says the United States is not rushing to reach an agreement with Iran to end the war, even as negotiations appear to be moving forward. Speaking to reporters, he describes efforts as an attempt that the administration intends to pursue, but he stresses that he will not accept a rushed or improper outcome. Multiple outlets report that Trump frames timing as largely under the U.S. approach rather than external pressure, including political timing around U.S. elections. Bloomberg and others say Trump links his caution to concerns about Iran’s intentions, while the Washington Times and similar reports note that he suggests he has told negotiators not to rush into a bad deal. Several outlets also characterize the situation as “inch[ing] closer” to a peace agreement while simultaneously emphasizing that Trump is not prepared to sign quickly. The Economist adds that Trump says a deal is close, but the president continues to signal that negotiations are not being driven by urgency for an immediate announcement. Overall, sources agree that Trump pairs a push to make progress with an insistence on avoiding a deal he views as unfavorable.
