Washington(The COW News Digital)US President Donald Trump expressed cautious optimism over ongoing negotiations with Iran, emphasizing that Tehran appears willing to make progress but warning that failure could have serious consequences. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump addressed questions regarding the status and future of US-Iran talks.
“Talks are ongoing with Iran, and we hope they are successful,” Trump said, noting that while Iran seems interested in reaching an agreement, it remains to be seen whether a concrete result will emerge. The president added that the timing and location of the next meeting are not yet finalized.
Trump also referenced past US military actions, highlighting “Operation Midnight Hammer,” a covert strike conducted after previous diplomatic efforts with Iran failed to yield results. “I don’t think Iran would want another Midnight Hammer-style operation,” he remarked, implying that constructive negotiations would be in the interest of both sides.

The president’s comments come amid growing international focus on Iran’s nuclear program and regional influence. Trump reiterated that if an agreement can be reached, it would be beneficial for global security. However, he warned that failure could lead to serious consequences, underscoring the high stakes involved.
In addition to Iran-related issues, Trump mentioned that a larger naval deployment is underway in response to potential threats, referencing a fleet moving toward the region. He suggested that US forces remain prepared to respond if diplomatic efforts do not produce the desired outcome.
Analysts say Trump’s remarks signal a dual approach: encouraging diplomacy while maintaining a credible military deterrent. By publicly acknowledging past failed negotiations and military operations, the president appears to be signaling both firmness and willingness to engage constructively.
The administration’s efforts follow months of heightened tension in the Middle East, where disputes over Iran’s nuclear program, ballistic missiles, and regional proxies have fueled international concern. Observers note that the coming weeks will be critical in determining whether diplomacy can prevent further escalation.
While Trump remains hopeful, he emphasized that only tangible progress will demonstrate Iran’s willingness to cooperate. “If we can reach a deal, it will be good for everyone,” he said, “but if not, the consequences could be very serious.”
The statements underscore the ongoing uncertainty surrounding US-Iran relations, balancing the prospects of diplomacy against the risks of military confrontation.
