Iran Wants to Make a Deal Badly: Trump
In a major shift regarding the ongoing Middle East conflict, President Donald Trump told Fox Business on Monday, March 23, 2026, that Iran wants to reach a settlement "badly." Following what he described as "very good and productive" discussions involving senior envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, the President announced a five-day postponement of planned military strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure.$SIREN
While Tehran’s Foreign Ministry has officially denied direct negotiations, Trump insisted that an agreement could be reached "within five days or less," signaling a potential de-escalation that immediately caused global oil prices to retreat.$JCT
