WANA (May 07) – U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that there is no deadline for reaching an agreement with Iran, repeating his previous claims that talks between the two sides are moving forward.

 

Speaking to reporters, Trump said, “A deal with Iran will happen, but there is absolutely no deadline.” He also claimed that “very good discussions” had taken place over the past 24 hours.

 

The remarks come as Trump has repeatedly stated in recent weeks that negotiations with Iran were progressing positively and could soon lead to an agreement, although no concrete details have been publicly provided.

 

The U.S. president also repeated his previous claims regarding Iran’s military capabilities, saying: “Their missiles, radars, and naval and air forces have been destroyed, so I think we won.”

 

Trump’s comments contrast with reports published by several American media outlets, including The New York Times, which suggest that the Trump administration entered the conflict based on flawed assumptions. According to those reports, Mossad had allegedly predicted before the conflict that Iran’s political system would quickly collapse under intensified pressure — an assessment that has not materialized.

 

American media reports have also indicated that Washington underestimated both Iran’s willingness and ability to close the Strait of Hormuz and launch missile and drone attacks against U.S. military bases in the region.

 

Inside the United States, Trump is facing growing political pressure over the lack of clear results from the conflict, rising fuel prices, tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, and the absence of a clear exit strategy.

 

Earlier this week, three senior Democratic lawmakers — Gregory Meeks, Adam Smith, and Jim Himes — called for a rapid end to the conflict in a joint letter to Trump.

 

“This war of choice has failed to achieve any of the administration’s stated objectives: ending Iran’s nuclear ambitions, removing highly enriched uranium from Iran, or bringing about regime change,” the lawmakers wrote.

 

The developments highlight the growing gap between the White House’s public narrative of progress and the increasingly critical assessments emerging from U.S. media and political circles.
