President Donald Trump offered a new assessment of Iran's intentions on Friday, stating that Tehran is eager to finalize a nuclear agreement 'as quickly as possible' and does not want to remain under U.S. military pressure. The remarks, reported by Israeli media, suggest a shift in tone from the President's recent threats of expanded strikes. Trump noted that Iran seeks a deal with the United States and Oman, and that the outcome remains to be seen. The Zioneer has previously reported on the escalating U.S. air campaign against Iranian targets and Trump's strategy of 'negotiating under fire.' In recent weeks, Trump has alternated between threatening military action and signaling openness to a diplomatic resolution.
