Trump stated that it remains uncertain whether a strike will occur, giving Iran 'a limited amount of time'—roughly two to three days, possibly extending into early next week—to reach an agreement. Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister said surrender holds no meaning for Tehran; they will either prevail or become martyrs.
