US President Donald Trump has left open the possibility of a deal with Tehran even in the coming days, telling Fox News on Wednesday 06.05.2026 that “Iran has one week” to accept a deal.

With tough language but still optimistic about a possible deal, Donald Trump sent a new clear message to Tehran, giving Iran a one-week deadline to accept a deal with the United States.

The US president, speaking on Fox News, appeared confident that there is a serious chance of a deal being reached even in the next few days, and shortly before that he had told PBS News that developments could “ramp up” ahead of his trip to China next week.

Although he said he was optimistic about the progress of negotiations with Tehran, Trump admitted that he had previously believed he was close to a deal.

Still, he reiterated that a key US condition is for Iran to hand over its highly enriched uranium so that it can be transferred to America.

“It will go to the United States,” he said, adding that Tehran would also have to pledge not to use its underground nuclear facilities.

Trump also made it clear that he considered it “unlikely” that he would send special envoy Steve Whitcoff and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, back to the Middle East for new contacts, explaining that the talks could be held in the US and the final meeting to sign a deal would take place “somewhere” later.

At the same time, the US president also sent a stern warning to the Iranian side.

“If they agree, it’s all over. If they don’t agree, we bomb,” he said, repeating a threat he has made several times in recent weeks.

At the same time, he noted that there is a “very good chance” of reaching an agreement, but warned that if the talks fail, “we will go back to the old ways.”

Trump’s latest remarks come hours after he sent conflicting messages on the issue, having earlier, speaking to the New York Post, appeared more cautious about the possibility of immediate progress in the talks.

When asked if a new round of negotiations was coming in Pakistan, he replied, “I don’t think so.”

“I think we will get it, but it is too early,” he added. “No, it’s too early.”

His comments came shortly after the announcement that Operation Freedom had been temporarily suspended to allow time for the two sides to reach an agreement.
