Trump: No Hurry to Resume Iran Peace Talks, Sees 'Big Advantage'

U.S. President Donald Trump declared he is in no hurry to restart stalled peace negotiations with Iran, asserting that the United States holds a "big advantage" over the Islamic Republic. His remarks come as the U.S. is poised to intensify economic pressure on Iran, with six months having passed since the conflict began.

In an interview with Qatari broadcaster Al Jazeera, Trump stated, "I have no deadline, none. I'm not in a hurry. We have no deadline whatsoever. We are winning by a big advantage."

“

I have no deadline, none. I'm not in a hurry. We have no deadline whatsoever. We are winning by a big advantage.

Trump reiterated his stance that Iran faces "huge inflation" and its "economy is collapsing." He also repeated accusations that Iranian leaders "treat their people very badly and are killing many, many protesters."

These statements follow Washington's recent announcement of "Operation Pariah," aimed at sanctioning entities trading with Iran. These new measures, though not yet dated, add to an existing U.S. naval blockade that has disrupted oil supply routes and driven up global hydrocarbon prices. Trump also previously claimed U.S. forces had "demined" the Strait of Hormuz and warned Iran against placing new explosives, while the Pentagon has not ruled out "kinetic attacks."
