Trump Predicts Iran Deal Amid US Military Pressure, Iran Rejects Missile Talks

• President Trump believes Iran will seek a deal to avoid US military action, despite Tehran's firm stance against negotiating its missile capabilities.
• Trump mentioned a 'large armada' heading towards Iran and hinted at a deadline for talks on Iran's nuclear and missile programs, though he did not disclose it.
• Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that while Tehran is ready for negotiations on an equal footing, its defensive and missile capabilities are non-negotiable.
• Turkey, through Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, is actively mediating to de-escalate tensions between Iran and the US.
• The US seeks a deal including a cap on Iran's long-range missiles, removal of enriched uranium, and a ban on independent enrichment, which experts deem 'impossible' due to Iran's red line on ballistic missiles.

Why It Matters: Trump anticipates a deal with Iran under military pressure, but Iran firmly rejects negotiating its missile program.
