President Donald Trump said the US could resume strikes on Iran within days if negotiations fail, saying Washington may deliver "another big hit" if Tehran does not agree to a deal, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday.
Trump said he recently halted a planned attack at the request of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE. Vice President JD Vance said the US believes Iran wants an agreement but warned military action remains an option.
Separately, the Republican-led Senate advanced a procedural vote toward a resolution to end hostilities, signaling growing political unease over the conflict and its economic impact.
