Trump ‘50/50’ over whether to resume bombing in Iran as he reveals deadline for decision

President Trump said Saturday he is “50/50” on whether the U.S. will resume bombing Iran, revealing he expects to make a final decision by Sunday.

“I think one of two things will happen: either I hit them harder than they have ever been hit, or we are going to sign a deal that is good,” Trump told Axios on Saturday.

The president said he, along with Vice President JD Vance, planned to meet with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner later Saturday to discuss Iran’s response.

Trump described the situation as a “solid 50/50” – saying he could either secure a “good” agreement with Tehran or “blow them to kingdom come.”

Under the proposed outline, the U.S. and Iran would agree to halt military action and enter into a 30-day period of more detailed negotiations aimed at reaching a broader agreement.
