US President Donald Trump says ongoing talks with Iran are “on the borderline,” describing them as straddling two possible outcomes: a deal aimed at ending the Middle East war or a return to renewed US strikes against Iran. Trump makes the remarks to reporters at Joint Base Andrews near Washington.
Multiple reports note that since Trump announced on Monday that he had called off renewed attacks to allow time for negotiations, his statements have been inconsistent. According to the outlets, he has alternated between expressing optimism about reaching an agreement and issuing threats that military action could resume if talks do not progress.
While the sources agree on the core message—Trump characterizes the status of negotiations as precarious—they present it alongside the broader context of his earlier decision to pause attacks for talks and his subsequent mixed signals. The reports do not provide additional details on the specific terms under discussion or any confirmed timetable for a final decision.
