President Donald Trump stated Friday night that there are 60 days to finalize a deal with Iran, warning of unspecified consequences otherwise, according to Israeli media. Trump added he does not believe it will come to that.
President Donald Trump said Friday night that there are 60 days to finalize a nuclear deal with Iran, warning that otherwise 'things they won't like' will happen — but added he does not believe it will come to that, according to a report by Kan 11.
The remark is the latest in a series of statements by Trump on the Iran nuclear talks. As The Zioneer has reported, Trump previously set a 60-day deadline for negotiations on June 6, and later said bombing Iran 'will probably happen' if it breaches an agreement. The president also said Wednesday that the 60-day framework is not a hard deadline for a final deal 'as long as they behave properly.'
Friday's statement was reported by a single Israeli outlet and has not yet been independently corroborated. It remains unclear whether Trump is reiterating the previously stated timeline or signaling an approaching end to the diplomatic window.
