U.S. President Donald Trump said there had been “pretty good news” concerning Iran but declined to provide details, adding to a series of developments tied to ongoing diplomatic efforts in the Middle East. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday, Trump suggested the situation was moving in a positive direction.

“We had some pretty good news 20 minutes ago, but it seems to be going very well in the Middle East with Iran,” he said. When pressed for specifics, the president did not elaborate, instead indicating that further information would be disclosed later.

“You’ll hear about it. I just think it’s something that should happen. It’s something that only makes sense to happen. And I think it will. We’ll see what happens, but I think it will,” Trump said.

The remarks come amid a series of recent statements by the president pointing to progress in discussions involving Iran, though no formal announcements or confirmations have been issued by U.S. or Iranian officials.

Details surrounding the nature of the reported development, including whether it relates to ongoing negotiations or security arrangements, were not immediately available.

Overall, Trump’s signal of “pretty good news” on Iran highlights the fluid nature of diplomatic efforts in the Middle East, even as specific details remain withheld for the time being.
