President Trump says he is in no hurry to reach an agreement with Iran
This statement suggests that the U.S. will adopt a tougher and more patient strategy in negotiations regarding nuclear issues and sanctions relief, rather than rushing for short-term compromises.
In market mechanisms, prolonged geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East is raising risk aversion, with funds accelerating into oil, gold, and defense stocks. Energy and military companies benefit from high oil prices and military spending expectations, while Iranian-related assets and globally risk-sensitive sectors are pressured by the delay in agreements.

Trump previously implemented severe sanctions on Iran through a "maximum pressure" policy during his first term and withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal. His recent "no hurry" statement continues his negotiation style of forcing opponents to concede through delays and economic pressure, similar to his long-term strategies regarding North Korea's nuclear issues and trade with China.
In terms of capital strategy, the U.S. aims to maintain high sanctions and military deterrence, focusing resources on coordinating with allies and energy alternatives, motivated by the desire to exchange time for better terms rather than quickly compromising to allow Iran breathing room and financial relief.
Similar cases include the maximum pressure policy on Iran from 2018 to 2020 and recent strengthening of defense cooperation with Middle Eastern allies; the current U.S.-Iran relationship is in a new phase of high pressure waiting and indirect negotiations.
Essentially, this reflects a shift in pricing power: international negotiations are moving from quick compromises to long-term strategic pressure, with the mechanism being that U.S. energy independence and military advantages allow it to endure longer periods of uncertainty, thereby concentrating capital and influence on countries that maintain a tough stance and weakening the economic recovery capabilities of opponents reliant on agreement relief.

The less urgency, the more initiative.
Time is a weapon of the strong; urgency is a shackle of the weak.
Excellent negotiators sell patience; losers sell compromise.
