Trump: US won't rush Iran deal because 'I don't care about the midterms'

President Donald Trump recently affirmed that the United States will not expedite a deal with Iran, underscoring that there is no rush to finalize an agreement. He explicitly stated that Iran should not expect immediate relief from U.S. sanctions or the release of frozen funds, indicating that such measures would only be considered if Iran demonstrates proper conduct.

Regarding the critical Strait of Hormuz, President Trump maintained that this international waterway must remain accessible to all and free from control by any single country. He issued a warning to Oman, which borders the strait, asserting that it must adhere to international norms or face potential military intervention.

These declarations are part of ongoing negotiations aimed at resolving a protracted conflict, reopening the strait to full shipping capacity, and addressing Iran's nuclear ambitions. While Iranian state media has reported on a draft agreement proposing Iranian-Omani cooperation in managing the strait, President Trump has rejected such claims, insisting on a "perfect" deal that ensures the strait's international status.
