Trump Questions Chances of Long-Term Iran Deal Beyond Nuclear Issues
In an interview, Trump was asked whether a new agreement with Iran “would ever really stick,” and replied: "I don't know. I know one thing, they want to make a deal."
"They wouldn't talk to anybody else, but they're talking to me. But, you know, it's a good question. A lot of people say no, and I would say that I'd rather make a deal. It's got to be a good deal, no nuclear weapons, no missiles, no this, no that, all the different things that you want," he added.
Trump also criticized previous US administrations, saying: "But some people worry that they've been very dishonest with us over the years, right? Very dishonest. Obama, Obama and Biden, what they did in terms of creating a monster with Iran was terrible. That Iran nuclear deal was one of the dumbest deals I've ever seen."
Following an initial round of nuclear talks in Oman on Friday, Iran and the United States are preparing for the next stage of negotiations. These discussions come after a nearly eight-month pause prompted by Trump’s strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Tensions between Washington and Tehran have escalated in recent months, driven by a US military buildup in the Persian Gulf and repeated threats of military action from Trump.
