SAEDNEWS: CNN Reports Trump Considers Resuming Military Strikes Amid Rising Frustration Over Iran Talks as Some Officials Push for Diplomacy
According to the political service of the Saed News website, U.S. President Donald Trump has become increasingly frustrated with the management of negotiations with Iran aimed at ending the war, and some officials say he is seriously considering resuming major military operations.
Sources told CNN that there are different camps within the Trump administration recommending alternative paths forward. Some, including Pentagon officials, have supported a more aggressive approach to pressure Iran into returning to the negotiating table—including targeted strikes intended to further weaken Tehran’s position. However, sources said others are still trying to give diplomacy a fair chance.

Many of Trump’s associates want Pakistani mediators to be much more direct in their communications with Iran. Some Trump officials have long questioned whether Pakistan is aggressively conveying Trump’s dissatisfaction with the state of negotiations, as Trump has publicly done. Two sources said some administration officials also believe Pakistan often presents a more positive version of Iran’s stance to the United States than what reality reflects.
A regional official said on Monday that regional countries and Pakistan have been strongly trying to make Iran understand that Trump is frustrated and that this is their last opportunity for serious diplomatic engagement, but Iran does not appear to be listening or taking anyone seriously.
Also, the outlet Vala News, citing sources, reported that Washington was on the verge of deciding to resume attacks on Iran one week ago. The source further stated that individuals close to Trump convinced him at the last moment to halt the decision to restart the war.
