Trump just said they're giving Iran 'some time' but not much — and if no deal happens, they'll hit hard.
Here's the vibe: oil prices are spiking, inflation's creeping back up, and that's not part of Trump's playbook right now. He needs things to cool down, not blow up.
So basically, he's buying time to keep things from spiraling in a direction that doesn't help him. Classic move when the market's not cooperating with your narrative.
