CAIRO – 6 May 2026: U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Wednesday that Iran is eager to negotiate a new agreement, asserting that the country is currently facing severe maritime restrictions.
"We're dealing with people who want to make a deal at any price," Trump said. "The Iranians can't get any ships in or out."
The President reaffirmed his administration's hardline stance on Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. "We will not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon. We are in a standoff with Iran and are doing incredible work," he added.
His comments come as tensions in the region reach a critical juncture. On Tuesday, Axios cited senior officials reporting that President Trump may order a resumption of military operations as early as the end of this week should the current diplomatic process remain deadlocked.
The report underscores a direct link between the success of ongoing diplomatic efforts and the prevention of further military escalation. Sources describe the regional situation as precarious, with the outcome teetering between a potential breakthrough agreement and a return to open military confrontation.
This "open-ended scenario" has placed international observers on high alert as the deadline for a diplomatic resolution rapidly approaches.
