Trump Says He Is in 'Deciding Mode' on Iran in Fox News Interview
U.S. President Donald Trump said he is in "deciding mode" on Iran and that "very big things" will happen there "in the not-too-distant future," in an interview with Fox News carried in reporting on 20 September 2026. He said options remain on the table and that he is open to talks at the United Nations. Two separate reporting chains carry the remarks; none of the outlets witnessed the interview directly.
NOT ESTABLISHED
- No transcript, video, or official White House readout of the interview was observed; all reporting is second-hand.

- Exact date and time of the interview itself are not stated in the observations; only the publication window is known.

- No observed military activity, deployment, or strike is associated with the statement in this collection.
