President Donald Trump reiterated his warning to Iran on Friday evening, stating that if a deal is not reached, the United States would take steps unacceptable to Tehran — while adding he does not believe it will come to that, according to Israeli media reporting his remarks. The comment builds on a series of Trump statements on Iran over recent weeks, including a 60-day framework for negotiations and repeated threats of military action if talks fail. He also affirmed his "excellent relations" with Israel, pushing back against reports of tension with Prime Minister Netanyahu. The new remarks, reported just before 23:00 Jerusalem time, are the latest in a fast-moving thread that began on Friday evening with Trump's 60-day ultimatum. No further details were provided on the specific steps the US might take.
