Iran War Live Updates: Trump Asserts Iran Wants to ‘Make a Deal’ as Missile Attacks Continue - The New York Times

President Trump said Iran wants to "make a deal" even as Iranian missile attacks on Israel continue, signaling a potential opening for negotiations despite active military hostilities. The statement reflects Trump's preference for diplomatic resolution and contrasts with the escalating military exchanges between Iran and Israel. Iran has conducted multiple missile strikes in recent weeks, with Israeli forces responding with their own strikes, raising the risk of broader regional conflict. Trump's assertion that Iran is seeking negotiations could indicate either behind-the-scenes diplomatic channels or his interpretation of Iranian intentions. The comments suggest the Trump administration may be exploring a path to de-escalation while the two nations remain locked in active military engagement.
