Al Jazeera reported on Sunday, October 25, 2026 that US President Donald Trump said after voting in Florida on Saturday that Washington was considering military action against Iran but might also reach an agreement with Tehran. He gave no firm timing for a decision or an operation. The comments do not announce that an attack has taken place or an agreement has been concluded.

His remarks come after interim agreement talks between Iran and the US failed to produce a result. The same report says Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian blamed the US for the talks' breakdown but urged continued efforts toward an agreement. Both alternatives matter for oil and currency market expectations, though neither has been confirmed as an outcome.
