President Donald Trump said Wednesday he is uncertain whether a U.S.-Iran nuclear deal will be reached, suggesting the United States may instead prevent Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons without an agreement, as reported by Israel Hayom.
President Trump's latest remark on the Iran nuclear file strikes a note of uncertainty after weeks of statements ranging from confident deal-making to threats of military action. As The Zioneer has reported, Trump previously said he thinks 'Iranians want a deal' (June 10), warned of 'unbelievable consequences' if Iran breaks commitments (June 16), and declared the emerging agreement 'very strong — 99.9%' that it prevents nuclear weapons (June 17). His statement today, that he does not know whether a deal will be reached and that the US may instead prevent Iranian nukes without one, suggests the administration is keeping both diplomatic and non-diplomatic options open. The remark was reported by Israel Hayom.
