Report: Trump ’50/50′ on Iran deal or resumed strikes, will likely decide by tomorrow

US President Donald Trump is “50/50” on whether to agree a deal with Iran or resume strikes, Axios reports, adding that he says he will likely decide by tomorrow.

Axios reporter Barak Ravid says he spoke with Trump on the phone, who told him that there is a “solid 50/50” split on whether he will be able to make a “good” deal or else “blow them to kingdom come.”

Trump says he would only accept a deal that covers issues like uranium enrichment and the fate of Iran’s existing stockpile, Axios reports, but it notes that those issues are unlikely to be resolved in any detail in what it says is the Memorandum of Understanding being discussed, which would end the war and trigger more detailed negotiations.

The US president adds that he will meet with his top aides, envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, as well as Vice President JD Vance later today to discuss the talks.

“I think one of two things will happen: either I hit them harder than they have ever been hit, or we are going to sign a deal that is good,” Trump says.

“Some people would much rather have a deal and others would rather resume the war,” he says. He rejects assertions that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is “worried” about a potential deal, but says the prime minister is “torn.”
