As the Iran war entered Day 16, US President Donald Trump said he was not ready to strike a deal with Iran to end the conflict, even though Tehran appears willing to negotiate a ceasefire.

In an interview with NBC News, Trump said the terms offered so far were not acceptable to Washington. “Iran wants to make a deal, and I don’t want to make it because the terms aren’t good enough yet," Trump said. He added that any agreement to end hostilities would have to be “very solid."

Trump did not reveal specific conditions for a possible ceasefire agreement. However, he indicated that Iran permanently abandoning its nuclear ambitions would likely be a key requirement.

His remarks came after reports that the Trump administration had rejected efforts by Middle Eastern allies to begin diplomatic negotiations aimed at ending the war.

Trump has given different estimates about how long the conflict could last. While he initially said the US military campaign might continue for four to five weeks, he later said American forces were “way ahead of schedule" and that there was “practically nothing left to target" in Iran.

He also said he was working with other countries on a plan to secure the Strait of Hormuz as global oil prices surged. Trump dismissed concerns in the United States about rising petrol prices after the US and Israel launched their joint military operation two weeks ago.

The conflict between Iran and Israel entered its 16th day on Sunday, with both sides intensifying their rhetoric and military operations. The war has disrupted the region, affecting oil supplies, shipping routes and the broader security situation across several countries.
