President Trump pushed back on a report from ABC News, posting that he is not trying to force Iran back to the negotiating table. Trump said he "couldn't care less" whether Iran signs what he called a "worthless" agreement, dismissing the network's characterization of his administration's approach as inaccurate. The post did not elaborate on the current state of any diplomatic contacts with Tehran, but signals Trump wants to project strength rather than eagerness for a deal. The remark comes amid ongoing tensions between Washington and Tehran over Iran's nuclear program, with Trump repeatedly casting doubt on the value of any agreement that doesn't fully address US concerns. BreakFirst will continue monitoring for administration follow-up on Iran policy.
