Trump expressed hope that Iran would agree to a deal, noting that this should have been done earlier to avoid the current difficulties. "I hope they will go for a deal. If they had done it the first time, they would have had a country in better shape," the president remarked in his speech in Iowa.
In an interview with Axios, Trump also noted that Iran shows interest in negotiations with the US, however, the situation in the region remains uncertain.
On January 23, the US president reported the movement of a large fleet towards Iran, emphasizing that this step is being taken "just in case," although he hopes the fleet will not need to be deployed.
According to information from Middle East Eye, the US may strike high-ranking Iranian officials and commanders responsible for suppressing protests in Iran. The White House is actively discussing the potential consequences of this decision, and according to a source, the US may attack Iran as early as this week, although the timing remains uncertain.
