President Donald Trump On Wednesday, he said he wants to negotiate a nuclear agreement with Iran after imposing a “maximum pressure” campaign in the Islamic Republic.
Trump said in a Social publication of truth That work should begin in such an agreement “immediately.” The president said that the reports that the United States and Israel are working together to attack Iran are exaggerated.
“It would prefer a verified nuclear peace agreement, which will allow Iran to grow peacefully and prosper,” Trump said in the position. The president withdrew the United States in 2018 of the nuclear agreement negotiated by the President Barack Obamacalled the Comprehensive Comprehensive Action Plan.
Trump’s comments arrive a day after signing a memorandum Impose a maximum pressure campaign on the Islamic Republic. The Memorandum ordered the Secretaries of State and the Treasury to implement a campaign to bring Iran’s oil sales to zero, including exports to China.
The OPEC member, Iran, is the third largest oil producer in the poster. Crude oil and global reference point Brent Futures quoted more than 1% under Wednesday morning.
Trump told journalists at the Oval office on Tuesday that he was not happy to sign the memorandum and hoped that “he will not have to use a large extent.”
“We don’t want to be hard with Iran, we don’t want to be hard with anyone, but they can’t simply have a nuclear weapon,” Trump said. The president said he would be willing to speak with his Iranian counterpart when journalists asked him on Tuesday.
Trump’s overture to Iran will be complicated by his unprecedented statements about the future of the Palestinians and the strip of Gaza. The president said Tuesday during a press conference with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, that the Palestinians should leave the Gaza Strip so that the United States can take the enclave and rebuild it.
Gaza has been decimated after the war more than Israel’s enclave in the enclave, launched in response to the militant group of the devastating terrorist attack in southern Israel on October 7, 2023. Israel and Hamas agreed a high fire before that Trump assumed the position.
Iran supports Hamas. The Islamic Republic and Israel launched direct attacks against the territory of the other twice last year, which increases the fear that the Middle East would descend to a large -scale regional war.
