US President Donald Trump has again expressed hope that a diplomatic agreement with Iran can still be reached, saying both sides are very close to either making a deal or returning to conflict. Speaking to reporters, Trump said the situation is “right on the borderline” between peace and renewed war. He explained that negotiations are continuing, but warned that if the United States does not receive what he called the “right answer,” tensions could escalate very quickly. Trump stressed that any agreement would need to fully satisfy US expectations. He said the answers from Iran would have to be “100 percent good answers” for a deal to move forward. Despite the warning, the president said he is willing to allow diplomatic efforts a little more time before making any final decision. According to Trump, he plans to give negotiations another “few days” to see whether progress can be made. He also said he hopes an agreement can prevent further violence in the region. Trump told reporters that if waiting a few extra days could help save lives, then it would be worth doing. The comments come during a period of high tension in the Middle East, especially around the Strait of Hormuz, where fears over shipping security and military escalation remain high. Recent weeks have seen increased diplomatic activity involving the United States, Iran, and several regional powers. At the same time, military forces in the region remain on alert, raising concerns that any failure in negotiations could quickly lead to confrontation. Analysts say Trump’s latest remarks show that Washington is trying to balance pressure on Iran with continued diplomacy. While the US president continues to warn of possible military action, he is also publicly presenting negotiations as the preferred option. Iranian officials have also spoken about diplomacy in recent days, although Tehran has continued to emphasise its military readiness and control over key regional waterways. Many governments around the world are closely watching the talks because a wider conflict involving Iran could affect global oil supplies, regional stability, and international trade. For now, attention remains focused on whether the ongoing diplomatic efforts can produce a breakthrough before tensions rise further.
