US President Donald Trump claimed that Iran is “begging to make a deal” as tensions escalate in the ongoing conflict. Speaking during a cabinet meeting, Trump dismissed reports suggesting a lack of negotiations, insisting talks are happening behind the scenes. He also warned Iran’s leadership, including Mojtaba Khamenei, of severe consequences if no agreement is reached. The remarks come amid rising military tensions and conflicting narratives over diplomacy, fueling uncertainty about whether the crisis will move toward negotiations or further escalation in the region.
