According to a report by The Times Of Israel on May 18, 2026, the US President told The New York Post that “Iran knows what’s going to be happening soon”, expressing disappointment at Iran’s latest response to the United States on ending the war.…....
The comments came during an exchange in which the President addressed ongoing tensions between Washington and Tehran. He suggested that Iran was already aware of the direction events could take, although he did not provide further clarification on what actions he was referring to.
The New York Post also questioned him about earlier remarks made on Friday, when he indicated openness to a 20-year pause on Iran’s nuclear programme. The President dismissed that position when asked to elaborate further on it.
“I’m not open to anything right now,” he responded, signalling a shift away from any suggestion of long-term compromise on the issue. His remarks reflected a firmer tone amid continued disagreements over Iran’s nuclear activities.
The statement comes as diplomatic efforts involving the United States and Iran remain strained, with both sides maintaining differing positions on how to address the conflict and nuclear concerns. No immediate breakthrough has been reported in discussions aimed at de-escalation.
Meanwhile, tensions in the region remain high, with observers noting that rhetoric from both sides has intensified in recent weeks. The latest remarks further underscore the fragile nature of diplomatic engagement and the absence of clear progress toward resolving long-standing disputes between Washington and Tehran.
