US President Donald Trump has said the United States could continue large-scale bombing if a deal with Iran is not reached, while expressing optimism about a potential agreement.

“They very much want to make a deal and we want a deal too. If everything goes well, we will resolve it. Otherwise, we will continue the bombing with full force,” he said.

The US President also suggested that Iran could agree to abandon its nuclear weapons programme in exchange for peace.

Trump claimed that a major Iranian power facility had been considered as a potential target, noting it could have been destroyed in a single strike, but said Tehran instead initiated contact.

“They called us, I did not call them. They want a deal and we are ready for one. It has to be a good deal, no more wars and no nuclear weapons,” he said.

He added that without agreement on Iran’s nuclear programme, no broader deal would be possible.

The European Union places significant importance on the views of Georgia’s civil society when assessing the country’s progress towards integration, Gigi Gigiadze, senior researcher at the Economic Policy Research Center, said on Monday.

He claimed that civil society played a “crucial role” in Georgia’s EU integration process.

“This means that, first and foremost, the opinion of Georgia’s civil society is very important for the European Union,” he said, adding that assessments and statements from the sector carried “decisive significance” in shaping Brussels’ understanding of developments in the country.

Gigiadze further noted the European Union consistently paid close attention to how civil society evaluates the state of EU-Georgia relations.

His comments come as the EU prepares Georgia’s 2026 annual report under the enlargement package, a key document assessing candidate countries’ progress.

As part of the process, the EU delegation has invited civil society organisations to contribute to the assessment.
