US President Donald Trump said Iran “cannot threaten regional stability” as tensions between Washington and Tehran remained in focus on Wednesday.
In remarks reported in live updates, Trump stressed that an agreement should be reached quickly and described the current moment as critical for Tehran to make a choice.
“Now is the time for Iran to join us on a path that will complete what we’re doing,” Trump said. He added that the United States sees the situation as time sensitive and is pushing for a decision without delay.
Trump also outlined two possible outcomes, indicating that Washington is prepared to proceed either way. “And if they join us, that’ll be great. If they don’t join us, that’ll be great too, but it’ll be a very different path,” he said.
The comments positioned the US approach as contingent on Iran’s response while underscoring that the administration expects Tehran to avoid actions it views as destabilising for the wider region.
No additional details were provided in the update about the structure of the proposed agreement, the timeline for talks, or whether any intermediaries are involved. The remarks did not include specifics on any measures that could follow if Iran declines to participate.
The developments come amid continued international attention on US Iran relations, with statements from both sides closely watched for signals on diplomacy and next steps.
