U.S. President Donald Trump says the United States will not “rush into a deal” with Iran, despite earlier signals that an agreement could be imminent. Trump says U.S. negotiations with Tehran are proceeding in an “orderly and constructive” manner, and he has instructed his representatives “not to rush into a deal.” The comments come as criticism increases within the U.S. Republican Party over reports of an emerging Iran deal. Multiple outlets report that conservative Republican senators, including Trump ally Lindsey Graham, have questioned the substance and handling of the negotiations after coverage suggested a draft or soon-to-be finalized agreement.
Iranian officials, meanwhile, indicate that key differences between the sides still need to be resolved, suggesting the negotiating process remains ongoing rather than fully finalized. Across the sources, the central points are Trump’s instruction to avoid accelerating a deal, the characterization of talks as orderly, and continued uncertainty over remaining issues with Iran.
