Iran and the United States are signaling cautious movement toward a possible diplomatic framework to end a three-month conflict, as President Donald Trump said negotiations with Iran were “proceeding nicely” and tied a potential deal to a wider push for countries to join the Abraham Accords.
Trump said the outcome would be “a Great Deal for all or, no Deal at all,” warning that failure would mean a return to conflict “bigger and stronger than ever before.” He also said he had pressed multiple countries to sign onto the Abraham Accords as part of what he described as efforts to make any Iran agreement a broader regional settlement.
Trump added that leaders he had spoken with would be “honored” to have Iran eventually included in the accords, a set of agreements aimed at normalizing relations with Israel.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington is still prioritizing diplomacy, but made clear it is not ruling out other options if talks collapse. Speaking to reporters in New Delhi, Rubio described the current state of negotiations as an opportunity to test whether a limited but structured deal can hold, particularly around maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz and the start of a time-bound nuclear negotiation process.
