President Donald Trump says Iran wants to reach a deal and that he will decide whether the United States will engage in efforts to do so. In a post on Truth Social on Monday, Trump said Iran wants a deal “quickly and badly,” and he will determine whether the U.S. chooses to engage.
The brief statement provides limited detail about the substance of any potential agreement, the timeline, or whether specific talks are already underway. It frames engagement as an option that remains open, while emphasizing Trump’s role in determining whether Washington will pursue negotiations.
Across the two outlets provided, both report the same core claims from Trump, including the characterization of Iran’s desire for a deal and the decision-making authority he attributes to himself. Neither source includes additional corroborating information or comments from Iranian officials or U.S. government agencies beyond the cited remarks.
