Trump says negotiators are getting closer to Iran deal, media interviews show

President Donald Trump said on ​Saturday that negotiators for ​the United States and Iran were "getting ​a lot closer" to finalizing an agreement to end the war, according to an interview with CBS News.

He said ‌a final ⁠agreement ⁠would prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and ​would ensure that Iran's enriched uranium would be "satisfactorily handled," according ​to CBS.

"I will only sign a deal where we get everything we want," Trump was ​quoted as saying.


Iran, the United States ⁠and mediator ‌Pakistan all said on Saturday ​that progress ​had been made in talks on ⁠ending almost three months of war.

Trump said ​he would discuss the latest Iran ​draft agreement with advisers on Saturday and might make a decision on whether to resume the war by Sunday, he told Axios in a separate interview.

"Either we reach a good ‌deal or I'll blow them to a thousand hells," Trump said, according to ​Axios.

Trump has ​vacillated between ⁠the two poles of diplomacy and military strike since a ceasefire was declared six weeks ago to allow ​the sides to come to agreement on Iran's nuclear program and on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil and gas supply route now controlled by Tehran.
