Trump says he sees no ‘sticking points’ in Iran talks
Details
President Donald Trump said that negotiations with Iran are ongoing and that he could have an agreement or “at least an idea by one or two days from now.”
“I think it’s going well,” Trump said, claiming that for now, the blockade of Iranian ports continues to hold “100%.”
“We have a good chance of doing it,” the president said of a potential deal. “We should be able to do it in one hour if you want to know the truth. I don’t think there are any sticking points. I think we’re very…close to having a very, very good, strong, powerful deal.”
Trump also said that further military action is possible, but suggested that a deal is preferable.
“If we go and bomb, which we can do very easily, if we want, and we spend another two or three weeks bombing, they’ll have nothing left whatsoever, but you won’t have the Strait open for months. If we do the bombing, you know a lot of people are going to be killed. Who wants to do that? I know, and we’ll get, we’ll have a signed document that’s actually stronger than doing the bombing,” Trump said.
Trump also said he “can’t blame” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for retaliating against Iran after the recent resumption of direct strikes between the warring parties.
Iran launched missiles toward Israel on Sunday in what it said was retaliation for Israeli strikes on the Lebanese capital Beirut, where the Israel Defense Forces said it was targeting the Iran-aligned Hezbollah militia.
