- Trump tells reporters that the situation is going well with Iran
- ‘I think we are going to do a deal with Iran,’ Trump tells time.
- If no new atomic treaty has reached, Trump repeats the danger of military action.
US President Donald Trump said this week that he is open to meet the supreme leader or president of Iran and feels that the two countries will make a new deal on Tehran’s disputed nuclear program.
However, Trump, who in 2018, exit the US between Tehran and the world powers, now excluded a Moribond nuclear deal, reiterated the threat of military action against Iran until a new agreement arrives to prevent rapid development of nuclear weapons.
Trump said in an interview with Time Magazine published on Friday, “I think we are going to make a deal with Iran after the indirect US-Irani dialogue last week” in which the side agreed to create an outline for the possible deal.
Speaking separately from reporters at the White House on Friday, the Republican US President, he diagnosed his positive disease and said: “Iran, I think, is going well. We will see what happens.”
An American official said that “very good progress has been made in the discussion.”
Asked at the time, whether he was open to meet the Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei, who has the last on all major state policies, or President Masood Pezeshakian, Trump replied: “Sure.”
Expert level talks have been scheduled to resume in Oman on Saturday, which has served as a mediator among the long-term opponents with a third round of planned high-level nuclear discussions for a single day.
Israel, a close American colleague and the leading Middle East enemy of Iran, has described Tehran’s growing uranium enrichment program – a potential route for atomic bombs – as “existence threats”.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked for Iran’s nuclear capabilities, saying that partial measures will not be sufficient to ensure Israel’s safety.
In the interview, when asked if he was worried Netanyahu could pull the United States into a war with Iran, Trump said: “No.”
‘I will lead the pack’
However, when asked if the US would join a war against Iran, Israel should take action, he replied: “If we can’t make any deal then I can go very voluntarily. If we do not make any deal, I will lead the pack.”
In March, Iran responded to a letter from Trump, in which he urged it to negotiate a new deal, stating that it would not engage in direct conversation under maximum pressure and military hazards, but was open to indirect conversation, as was in the past.
Although the current dialogue has been intercepted by indirect and Oman, the US and Iranian officials spoke briefly after the first round on 12 April.
The final known face-to-face conversation between the two countries took place during diplomacy under former US President Barack Obama, which led to the 2015 nuclear deal.
Western powers accuse Iran of harassing a Clandstine agenda, to develop nuclear weapons capacity by enriching uranium to high level of fee purity, which they say that it is appropriate for a civil nuclear power program.
Tehran says that its nuclear program is completely peaceful. The 2015 deal curbed its uranium enrichment activity in exchange for relief from international sanctions, but Iran resumed and promoted quickly after Trump Walkout in 2018.
