President Donald Trump said Iran had “sort of” made a deal with the U.S. on its nuclear program, one that he hoped would secure “long-term peace”.
The U.S. and Tehran are in talks over the Iranian nuclear issue. Iran says it is developing nuclear energy for civilian purposes.
But the U.S. suspects it desires to build a nuclear bomb, which Trump has said he will not allow to happen, and would act militarily if he thought it necessary.
“We’re not going to be making any nuclear dust in Iran,” Trump said in Qatar during his four-day tour of the Middle East.
“I think we’re getting close to maybe doing a deal without having to do this.”
This is a developing article and more information will be added soon.
