Earlier, US President Donald Trump had said that the US and Iran are very close to a nuclear deal. However, he warned that if talks are not successful then military action will also remain an option.
In an interview with Fox News at the White House, Trump said that his government’s biggest priority is to ensure that Iran can never obtain nuclear weapons. Trump said, ‘We are close to a very good agreement. If this agreement is reached then it is good, otherwise we will have to move ahead on the military option. He claimed that Iran has agreed to conditions under which it will not develop or acquire nuclear weapons.
Trump said, ‘The most important guarantee for me is that there will be no nuclear weapons. He has agreed to this. He said that when he expressed concern that Iran could purchase nuclear weapons from elsewhere, the terms of the talks were further detailed.
Trump said, ‘In the beginning he said that we would not develop nuclear weapons. I asked what if you buy from someone else? Now this also includes that we will neither make nor buy nuclear weapons in any way. The President described the talks as difficult, but said progress was being made slowly.
