Various of ships sailing in Strait of Hormuz Storyline U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he is "in no hurry" to end the conflict with Iran and is willing to wait a few more days for "right answers" from Iran. "We're in the final stages of Iran," Trump told reporters. "We'll see what happens." "We'll either have a deal or we're going to do some things that are a little bit nasty. But hopefully that won't happen," he added. The president claimed he is in "no hurry" to finalize a peace agreement with Iran, suggesting that he would not consider making a "limited deal" only focused on reopening the Strait of Hormuz. "We're going to give this one shot," Trump said of a potential deal, ruling out the idea of a partial compromise. Trump said he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are aligned on the Iran issue, saying Netanyahu will do "whatever I want him to do." The two also held a tense phone call on Tuesday, discussing a new effort to reach an agreement with Iran, Axios reported on Wednesday. Trump told Netanyahu that mediators were drafting a "letter of intent" that both the U.S. and Iran would sign and launch a new round of negotiations of 30 days involving issues on Iran's nuclear program and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, according to the report. However, Netanyahu is highly skeptical of the negotiations and wants to resume the war to further weaken Iran's military capabilities and destroy its key infrastructure, the report said. Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir said on Wednesday that the IDF is currently on "maximum alert," and it is ready for any developments and will continue operations. Meanwhile, a large number of U.S. refueling aircraft was spotted parking on the runway of Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv, Israel on Tuesday. It is unclear how long these military aircraft have been stationed there. The U.S. and Israel have completed joint preparations for a possible resumption of military operations against Iran, according to Israel's Kan TV, citing a U.S. security official. Trump on Monday said in a post on Truth Social that he held off on the planned attacks on Iran Tuesday at the request of leaders from Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
