Trump says he “does not really want” a deal with Iran; U.S. media reports that the U.S. military may be preparing to resume large-scale operations in the coming weeks

BlockBeats news,October 8, U.S. President Donald Trump said at local time October 7 that he currently “does not really want” to reach a deal with Iran. Previously,NBC News reported that Trump and his national security team were discussing the possibility of resuming large-scale military operations against Iran in the coming weeks; Axios reported that potential operations could include “large-scale bombing” of Iran’s energy, infrastructure, and nuclear facilities.

Trump said at a campaign event in San Antonio, Texas, that Iran was willing to offer “anything” to stop the conflict, but that he currently did not want to reach a deal. He also said that U.S. Special Envoy for Middle East Affairs Steve Witkoff was advancing the relevant negotiations and was “doing a great job.”

Significant differences remain in recent U.S.-Iran negotiations. U.S. Vice President Vance said that Iran must substantially reduce its nuclear enrichment capacity to meet the U.S. demand for ending the war; Iran, meanwhile, criticized the contradictory positions of U.S. officials and insisted that its right to enrich uranium was non-negotiable.

Meanwhile, Middle East energy markets remain affected by the conflict. Kpler data show that crude oil exports through the Gulf region, excluding Iran, together with exports from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, have recovered to approximately 18500000 barrels per day before the conflict, but oil prices remain elevated. Kpler analysts believe that even without a new diplomatic agreement, Middle East oil shipments may gradually recover through operational adjustments, although the process will be slower and more uneven.

AI-assisted interpretation

The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.

The report indicates that U.S.-Iran negotiations remain unresolved; the U.S. side is demanding that Iran substantially reduce its nuclear enrichment capacity, while Iran insists that its right to enrich uranium is non-negotiable. U.S. media also reports that the United States is discussing the possibility of resuming large-scale military operations in the coming weeks, but this is not a confirmed operation.

Why it matters to readers

If military operations resume, disruptions to crude oil supplies and risks to transportation in the Middle East may draw market attention; the report also says that Gulf crude oil shipments have recovered to approximately 18500000 barrels per day before the conflict, but oil prices remain elevated.

This means that the core differences have not yet been resolved in the negotiations, and whether military action resumes remains a development to monitor.
