[Trump Says He 'Doesn't Really Want' to Reach a Deal with Iran, U.S. Media Reports U.S. Military May Prepare to Resume Large-Scale Operations in Coming Weeks] BlockBeats News, October 8 — On October 7 local time, U.S. President Trump stated that he currently 'doesn't really want' to reach a deal with Iran. Previously, NBC News reported that Trump and his national security team are discussing the possibility of resuming large-scale military operations against Iran in the coming weeks. Axios reported that potential actions may include 'large-scale bombings' targeting Iran's energy, infrastructure, and nuclear facilities. During a campaign event in San Antonio, Texas, Trump said that Iran is willing to offer 'anything' to stop the conflict, but he currently does not wish to reach an agreement. He also mentioned that U.S. Special Envoy for Middle East Affairs Steve Witkoff is pushing forward related negotiations and is 'doing a great job.' Recent U.S.-Iran negotiations still show significant differences. U.S. Vice President Vance stated that Iran must significantly reduce its nuclear enrichment capabilities to meet U.S. demands for ending the war. Meanwhile, Iran criticized U.S. officials for having contradictory positions and insisted that its uranium enrichment rights are non-negotiable. At the same time, the Middle East energy market continues to be affected by the conflict. According to Kpler data, excluding Iran, crude oil exports from the Gulf region, combined with exports from Saudi Arabia and the UAE, have recovered to approximately 18.5 million barrels per day, the level before the conflict. However, oil prices remain elevated. Kpler analysts believe that even without a new diplomatic agreement, Middle Eastern oil transportation may gradually recover through operational adjustments, but this process will be slower and more uneven.
