Trump 'not satisfied' yet with Iran, says they 'want to make a deal'

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that Iran is highly motivated to reach a deal, but the United States remains unsatisfied with the current terms. Speaking at a cabinet meeting, Trump stated, "Iran is very much intent; they want very much to make a deal." He added that while progress has not yet reached a satisfactory point, the U.S. will eventually achieve its objectives, either through an agreement or by "finish[ing] the job."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio echoed this sentiment, confirming that some progress has been made in the ongoing negotiations with Iran. "I think there's been some progress and some interest, and we'll see over the next few hours and days whether progress could be made," Rubio commented. The administration's stance suggests a continued diplomatic effort while maintaining a firm position on the terms of any potential agreement.

Iran is very much intent; they want very much to make a deal. So far, they haven't gotten there... we're not satisfied with it, but we will be. We will be either that or we'll have to just finish the job.

The remarks come amid ongoing tensions and diplomatic efforts concerning Iran's nuclear program and regional activities. The U.S. has previously imposed sanctions and maintained a strong stance against what it describes as destabilizing behavior by Iran. The current negotiation phase appears to be at a critical juncture, with both sides signaling a desire for resolution but differing on the specifics required to achieve it.
