A U.S. official tells NewsNation:

President Trump has always been clear about the fact that he will never allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons.

While he has shown that he prefers a diplomatic solution, if Iran continues to engage in conflict with terrorism and refuses to make a deal, he still keeps all options on the table.

Sanctions and a successful blockade have paralyzed Iran’s economy and left the country in a severely damaged state.

It is reasonable for Iran to agree to a deal—otherwise, they know what will happen.
