WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has stated that the ongoing tensions with Iran could come to an end swiftly, suggesting that the United States is on track for significant success in the matter. Trump also extended an invitation for direct talks with Iran, stating that if they wish to negotiate, they can contact the US anytime.
In an interview on Fox News channel, Trump said that “If they want to talk, they can come to us or just give us a call. You know, there’s a telephone, and we have reliable lines for that.”
The US President made it clear that any future agreements will concern the question of Iran having no nuclear weapons; this condition has to be met before a discussion between representatives can take place. “As you see, it’s very simple – if they cannot have nuclear weapons, then why would we meet?” the president pointed out.
Concerning his idea of sending a delegate to Islamabad previously mentioned, Trump claimed that it did not happen because it takes too long to get there; namely, he stated, “It takes several hours to fly there, so I said we’re not doing that anymore. We have everything.”
