Trump says Iran should make deal with US: They know consequences otherwise
US President Donald Trump on Saturday renewed pressure on Iran to strike a deal with the United States, warning that Tehran “knows the consequences” if it fails to do so, in an apparent hint at possible action.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said a “big fleet” was heading towards Iran and claimed that Tehran was keen to reach an agreement, adding that it “has to get in position”. At the same time, he described the ongoing talks as “very good” and suggested that a deal -- which he said would be “different from last time” -- could be on the cards.
"Had very good talks on Iran. Iran looks like it wants to make a deal very badly. It will be different from last time. We have a big fleet heading in that direction and it will be there pretty soon. Let us see how that works out," he said.
Trump further said that a deal could be reached, but stressed that “you have to get in position” and added that “we have plenty of time”.
"We have very good talks with Iran, and we have good talks with Russia and Ukraine. Iran wants to make a deal, and they should make a deal. They know the consequences if they don't," he added.
Trump reiterated that the key condition for any agreement would be that Iran does not acquire nuclear weapons. “Iran wants to make a deal, and they should make a deal. They know the consequences if they don’t,” he said, adding that such an understanding could have been reached years ago but Tehran was not willing at the time.
