Trump Says "Good Chance" of Iran Deal, Weeks After Vowing to Attack "Very Hard"

President Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on July 27, 2026, there was "a good chance" of reaching a deal with Iran, per the New York Times and Bloomberg. The remarks contrast with his June 10 threat to attack Iran "very hard." A White House statement on July 23 confirmed Iranian attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz since July 6.
