His ‌post comes only hours after the U.S. military said it ‌struck Iranian military sites over the weekend ‌and ⁠Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they had ⁠targeted a U.S. base in response, the latest in a series of exchanges amid negotiations to end ​the three-month-old war.

“Iran really ‌wants to make a deal, and it will be a good one for the U.S.A. and those that are ‌with us,” Mr. Trump posted on Truth Social ​an hour after midnight.

However, Mr. Trump also said it was tougher for ⁠him to negotiate with Iran with all the political commentary surrounding the conflict.

“... it is ‌MUCH tougher for me to properly do my job and negotiate, when political hacks keep negatively ‘chirping,’ at levels never seen before, over and over again, that I should move faster, or move slower, ‌or go to war, or not go to ​war, or whatever,” the president wrote on Truth Social.

“Just sit back and ⁠relax, it will all work out well ⁠in the end - It always does!” Mr. Trump had said on Friday (May 29, 2026) that he would ‌soon decide on a proposed deal to extend the ceasefire with Iran.
