The US president said Iran is in a difficult position but stopped short of predicting when or whether Tehran might back down.

US President Donald Trump said he believes Iran will eventually have to decide whether to back down, though he did not specify a timeline, according to a report from Russian state news agency TASS.
Trump reiterated his confidence that "Iran will not have a nuclear weapon," repeating a position he has voiced repeatedly amid ongoing tensions between Washington and Tehran.
The president's remarks come as the standoff between the United States and Iran over Tehran's nuclear program continues without a clear resolution, with both sides periodically exchanging pointed public statements.
Iranian officials have in the past pushed back on similar assertions from Washington, insisting the country would not be pressured into concessions under threat.
No new diplomatic steps were announced alongside Trump's comments, and it remains unclear when, or whether, talks between the two countries might resume.
