Donald Trump says he is still not ready to reach a deal with Iran, as tensions continue in the ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran.
Trump told NBC News that although Iran wants to make a deal, he is currently not prepared to reach an agreement.
“I am not ready to make a deal with Iran. They want to make a deal, but I do not want it because the conditions are not good enough yet,” Trump said.
While Trump did not specify what those conditions are, he said that Iran abandoning any plans to obtain nuclear weapons would be part of a potential agreement.
In the interview, Trump also said that many countries have pledged to help ensure the security of the Strait of Hormuz, though he did not reveal their names.
Meanwhile, Abbas Araghchi warned again that if US and Israeli attacks on Iranian facilities continue, Tehran would respond by targeting facilities of American companies in Gulf countries.
Araghchi added:
“We have closed the Strait of Hormuz only to our enemies and their partners, and we warn again that if attacks on Iran’s facilities by the United States and Israel continue, Tehran will target the facilities of American companies without delay.”
Earlier, Trump warned that about 2,000 US troops would be sent to the Middle East to secure control of the Strait of Hormuz.
At the same time, reports say Iran has recently allowed Indian ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
In recent days, international media have widely discussed the possibility that the conflict could escalate into a global war.
Political analyst Waheed Faqiri said the US and Israeli attacks on Iran have not only affected Iran and the region but also the global economy.
“We know that oil prices have increased, and when oil prices rise, the prices of many other goods also increase. This harms the whole world,” he said.
Meanwhile, Masoud Pezeshkian recently said that despite the past 15 days of conflict, his government has continued to provide services to Iranian citizens.
Pezeshkian added that after the war, Iran will rebuild the facilities that were destroyed, and do so in an improved manner.
