WASHINGTON – Web Desk: US President Donald Trump has stated that he has sent a clear message to Iran that the time has come for both countries to reach a deal in some form, while rejecting reports of a stalemate in negotiations.
In his latest statement, Trump said the behavior Iran has been following for 47 years cannot be allowed to continue, adding that a diplomatic solution and agreement are the best way forward under current circumstances. Trump also rejected reports of a halt in US-Iran negotiations, stating that contrary to some reports, contacts and discussions between the two countries continue and the negotiation process has not stopped.
The US President said that talks between Iran and the US are ongoing on various matters, though it would be premature to say what the final outcome of the negotiations will be. He added that no one can say with certainty in which direction these talks will go or what type of agreement they will reach, but contacts between the two sides remain.
Trump’s statement comes amid various speculations in recent weeks regarding a potential US-Iran deal, nuclear program, regional tensions, and economic sanctions. Global observers are focused on diplomatic contacts between the two countries, as any potential development could have significant implications for the Middle East and global politics.
