President Trump says he is “solid 50/50” on whether he can reach a peace agreement with Iran, describing the decision as balanced between pursuing a deal and resuming or escalating military action. According to reporting, Trump indicates he is weighing Iran-related negotiations and expects to make a decision by May 24.
One outlet reports that Trump comments on Saturday regarding his odds of forging a peace agreement, framing the timing of a potential decision. Another outlet reports that Trump plans to meet with negotiators on Saturday to discuss Iran’s latest proposed deal aimed at ending the war, again emphasizing that the president has not ruled out returning to fighting.
Both accounts present Trump’s position as conditional and time-bound, with the key point being uncertainty about whether negotiations will produce an agreement or whether the U.S. position would shift toward renewed force. The reporting also includes Trump’s warning language that he could take stronger action if a deal is not reached.
