President Donald Trump expressed optimism about the possibility of reaching a peace deal with Iran, signaling a potential diplomatic breakthrough after years of tension between Washington and Tehran.

“It would be great to make a peace deal with them,” Trump said. “They’re tired, they want to survive. They’re not starting anything. I think we have a chance.”

The president’s comments suggest a notable shift toward engagement over confrontation, as his administration continues to emphasize diplomacy as the preferred path for regional stability.

Analysts say Trump’s remarks could mark the beginning of a broader strategy to de-escalate tensions and explore limited cooperation on security and economic fronts. The statement comes amid improving regional dynamics following the Gaza peace agreement, which has reshaped alliances and renewed calls for dialogue across the Middle East.

While no formal talks have been announced, Trump’s tone has sparked cautious optimism among international observers who believe that mutual fatigue from years of conflict could open the door to meaningful negotiations.
