The statements followed several Trump interviews with U.S. media, in which he claimed the two sides were close to finalizing a deal to end the war.
In a phone interview with Axios, Trump said he was meeting later on Saturday with top advisers, including Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, to review Iran’s latest proposal and make a decision on a potential deal by Sunday.
The chance of reaching an agreement, he told Axios, was a “solid 50/50”: either he would accept a “good” deal or “blow them to kingdom come.”
Trump said in his post that he had spoken with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Bahrain and Turkey on Saturday, as well as Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, who left Tehran on Saturday after meeting with the Iranian leadership.
In a separate interview with CBS News, Trump said that he would only sign a deal where “we get everything we want,” including preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
