- Before his Truth Social post, Trump told the John Fredericks Show that Iran must negotiate or "see problems like they've never seen before," while reiterating Iran will not possess a nuclear weapon and urging a "fair deal."
- Parliament Speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf, who met with Vance in Islamabad earlier this month, wrote that the United States "delusionally aims to either turn talks into capitulation or excuse fresh hostilities."
- The fate of ongoing peace talks remains uncertain as the ceasefire between the two sides is set to expire on Wednesday, while Trump maintains that Tehran's stockpile of enriched uranium should ultimately transfer to United States territory.
