Hours after Iran’s stern warning, US President Donald Trump has said that he is still hopeful of a deal with Tehran. Amid rising tensions and fears of regional conflict, Trump made it clear that America is giving priority to diplomacy, although all options are kept open.
According to Fox News report, while talking to reporters in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, Trump reacted to the statement of Iran’s supreme leader. He said that in the current situation such things are natural. Trump further said why would he not say this? This is what he would say in this environment.
Emphasis on diplomacy, but warning also remains
Donald Trump said that his government is paying attention to the negotiations and their goal is to reach an agreement so that Iran does not have nuclear weapons. He also said that if there is no agreement, the future situation will become clear. Trump expressed hope that an acceptable solution can be found through talks. According to him, it is possible to reach an agreement that is without nuclear weapons and is satisfactory to all parties.
Protests and American pressure in Iran
This statement has come at a time when protests have been going on in Iran for the last several weeks. These demonstrations began in late December due to economic troubles and living difficulties, but later became the biggest political challenge since the 1979 revolution. There was a strong crackdown by Iranian security forces on these demonstrations, in which there were reports of deaths and arrests of thousands of people. After this, America increased its naval presence in the Middle East and Trump warned Iran that if the nuclear deal was refused or violence against protesters continued, it could intervene.
Khamenei’s warning increased tension
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned on Sunday (February 1, 2026) that if America attacks, the entire region could turn into war. He termed the ongoing protests in Iran as a coup supported by America and Israel. Khamenei said that the Iranian people are not afraid of any threat. He also added that Iran will not take the initiative to attack any country, but any attack will be given a strong response.
The path of dialogue is still not clear
There are mixed signals regarding talks from both the countries. Trump said that Iran is talking seriously to America. At the same time, Iranian officials have also indicated that the possibilities of talks are being discussed. Although Iran says it is ready for “fair” talks, it will not accept any restrictions on its defense capabilities.
