US President Donald Trump says he does not know whether Iran is going to “give up yet” in its conflict with the United States. Speaking to reporters outside the White House after a meeting with AI executives, he says Iran is “doing very poorly.” Trump adds that he believes Iran “will give up,” though he frames the timing as uncertain.
The reports describe the wider pressure behind the exchange. One account links Iran’s strained position to a US blockade that limits Iran’s financial lifeline, particularly oil exports. It also points to the economic costs of the war, saying they make life more difficult for Iranians. While outlets focus on Trump’s comments about Iran’s prospects, they do not present additional details or new actions beyond his remarks and the general context of US pressure.
Overall, the coverage centers on Trump’s uncertainty about Iran’s next steps, alongside his assessment that Iran is already under severe strain, without attributing a specific timetable or outcome beyond his statement that Iran will eventually “give up.”
