Trump Says He's “50-50” on Deal or Attack Iran


(MENAFN) On Saturday, US President Donald Trump told Axios that he is “50-50” on whether to pursue an agreement with Iran or resume military strikes, noting that he would likely decide by Sunday whether to continue the conflict.

Trump described the situation as a "solid 50/50" regarding whether he could reach a "good" deal or instead "blow them to kingdom come."

He explained that later Saturday he would meet with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to discuss Iran’s latest reply, with Vice President JD Vance also expected to participate.

Trump stated, "I think one of two things will happen: either I hit them harder than they have ever been hit, or we are going to sign a deal that is good."

He added that "some people would much rather have a deal and others would rather resume the war," dismissing the notion that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was "worried" about ongoing negotiations.
