Trump says Iran deal 'very possible' but threatens strikes if talks fail

US President Trump stated that a deal with Iran was ‘very possible’ while warning of renewed bombing if negotiations fail. The US paused its military operation to reopen the Strait of Hormuz but is also pushing for a UN Security Council resolution demanding Iran halt attacks. Investors reacted positively to the news, driving stock markets to record highs, though Iranian residents expressed concerns about the prospect of a deal with the current government.
