Washington, Aug 6 (Sputnik/UNI) US President Donald Trump said that he still wants to reach a deal with Iran.
“I’d rather make a deal because I don’t want to kill people; I do not want to kill people. But at some point, we’re gonna. We were set for the biggest attack of any attack, and we’ve hit them very hard for the last few months. But we were, we were all set for the biggest attack since World War II. And they called me, and they said, ‘Please don’t do it. Let’s talk.’ And then they don’t. They say we never said that,” Trump said, addressing his supporters in Las Vegas.
From Trump’s point of view, Iran respects the United States.
“Let’s see what happens,” the US president added.
On Sunday, Trump said he had cancelled strikes on Iran in light of a pending settlement deal, the contours of which include opening the Strait of Hormuz and agreements on the nuclear programme. The New York Times reported that the agreement provides for Iran and Oman to reach a deal on reopening the Strait of Hormuz within 60 days.
