President Donald Trump urged people to "sit back and relax" while he negotiates with Iran to secure a deal that "will be a good one for the U.S.A." 
In a Truth Social post early Monday, Trump expressed confidence that negotiations with Tehran are moving in the right direction while criticizing political opponents and some Republican critics for second-guessing his approach. 
"Iran really wants to make a deal, and it will be a good one for the U.S.A. and those that are with us," Trump wrote. 
"Just sit back and relax, it will all work out well in the end  It always does!" 
The president also argued that constant public commentary about whether he should move faster, slow down or take military action complicates sensitive negotiations. 
"[D]on't the Dumocrats, and various seemingly unpatriotic Republicans, understand that it is MUCH tougher for me to properly do my job and negotiate, when political hacks keep negatively 'chirping,' at levels never seen before, over and over again, that I should move faster, or move slower, or go to war, or not go to war, or whatever," he wrote. 
Trump's optimistic assessment comes as reports indicate the administration has presented Tehran with a tougher revised framework aimed at ending months of conflict and preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. 
According to reports cited by AFP, Trump recently sent back a strengthened proposal for Iranian leaders to consider. 
The president has repeatedly maintained that any agreement must permanently block Iran's path to a nuclear bomb. 
"The one guarantee that I have to have is that there will be no nuclear weapons," Trump said in a recent TV interview. 
Trump reportedly said Iran had indicated agreement on that principle, though negotiations remain ongoing. 
Iranian officials, however, continue to signal resistance. 
Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, one of Tehran's top negotiators, said Iran would not approve any agreement until it is certain the "rights of the Iranian people" are protected. 
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi likewise cautioned against drawing conclusions before talks are finalized. 
The negotiations follow months of heightened tensions in the Middle East. 
Earlier this year, U.S. and Israeli military operations targeted Iranian military and nuclear-related infrastructure. 
Gen. 
Dan "Razin" Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has said more than 80% of Iran's missile facilities were struck during the campaign, though reports suggest Tehran is attempting to restore portions of that network. 
A successful agreement could help stabilize the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy corridor that has been disrupted during the conflict. 
Despite skepticism from Tehran and criticism from political opponents at home, Trump is projecting confidence that his pressure campaign and negotiations will ultimately deliver a favorable outcome for the United States, its allies and regional stability.
