Trump says not happy with Iran, may have to use force

Feb 27, 2026, 17:39 GMT+0Updated: 21:20 GMT+0

‌US ​President ⁠Donald Trump ‌told reporters he is not happy with Iran but more talks ​were ‌expected to be ‌held ⁠on Friday.

Trump, when asked about the possibility of using military force against Iran, said he doesn’t want to use it, but that sometimes it’s necessary.

"We haven't made a final decision [on Iran]. We're not exactly happy with the way they negotiated... We're not thrilled with the way they're negotiating," Trump told reporters before leaving the White House.

Asked if there is a risk that an attack could turn into a long, drawn-out conflict in the Middle East, he said, "I guess you could say there's always a risk. When there's war, there's a risk in anything, both good and bad. We've had tremendous luck with myself. Soleimani, Al Baghdadi, everything's worked out, and then we do the midnight hammer and so many others, everything's worked out. And we want to keep it that way, but we're going to see."

"It'd be wonderful if they negotiate, really, in good conscience, good faith and conscience. But they are not getting there so far," he said.
