‘Under no pressure to make a deal’: Trump lashes out as clock ticks on Iran ceasefire

The Republican has clarified that he is not under any “pressure” with respect to making a deal with Iran, further adding to the uncertainty over the future of the war.

“I read the Fake News saying that I am under “pressure” to make a Deal. THIS IS NOT TRUE! I am under no pressure whatsoever, although, it will all happen, relatively quickly!,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post, further adding that time was not his adversary in this case.

He also said that the new deal being negotiated with Iran would be better than the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) or the international Iran nuclear deal agreed upon earlier.

Donald Trump defended the timeline he laid out on the US conflict with Iran, saying it was “far faster” than other conflicts like World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War, that lasted years.

He accused the Democrats of trying to “hurt the very strong position” the US currently holds in the ongoing war and said that he won’t be rushed into securing a deal that may not be so good.
