Trump Says U.S. Could Strike Iran Again as Deal Remains Possible

President Donald Trump said the United States could strike Iran again or pursue an agreement, leaving military action and diplomacy in play and renewing near-term geopolitical risk for markets.

Trump said Iran wants an agreement and described a possible deal as major and favorable. He added that the United States would win regardless of which path it took.

In his framing, another attack and a negotiated settlement remain possible alternatives. The statement does not say a new strike has been ordered, that a deal has been reached or when either outcome could occur.

That leaves the immediate direction of U.S. policy toward Iran unresolved in the remarks. For U.S. readers, the pairing of military action with a potential agreement keeps near-term geopolitical uncertainty in focus.

The remarks also renew uncertainty for energy markets tied to the Iran issue, but provide no details on how an attack might unfold, what an agreement would cover or what would constitute a win for Washington in practice.
