President Donald Trump said the world will see whether the United States makes a deal with Iran or takes military action against Tehran “probably in the next 10 days.”

In his speech at the first meeting of the Gaza Peace Council he established, Trump raised the issue of Iran’s nuclear program.

“We have to make a meaningful deal, or bad things will happen,” he warned.

The United States has continued to build up its power in the Middle East in recent weeks. Meanwhile, in Switzerland, the negotiations with Iran are reportedly changing.

Democratic lawmakers and some Republicans are already vocal about their opposition to any military action against Iran without congressional approval.

In his remarks, Trump said that special envoy Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, who represented the United States in the negotiations, had had “very good conversations” with Iran.

“As we’ve seen over the years, it’s not easy to make a meaningful deal with Iran,” he said, warning that “bad things will happen” if a deal doesn’t happen.

Trump’s comments came a day after White House press secretary Carolyn Levitt said it would be “very smart” for Iran to reach a deal with the United States.
