US Won’t Rush Into Deal With Iran, Trump Says

United States President Donald Trump has stated that the U.S. will not hasten into a deal with Iran, amid growing expectations and criticism over a potential agreement to end the conflict in the Middle East.

Trump made the comment on Sunday in a post on Truth Social, saying that the negotiations are moving in a deliberate and constructive manner.

He added that the blockade would remain fully enforced until an agreement is finalized, certified, and signed.

Daily Post notes that the United States imposed a blockade of Iranian ports on April 13 after Tehran effectively halted traffic through the economically vital Strait of Hormuz in response to U.S.–Israeli attacks on Iran that began on February 28.

"Both sides must take their time and get it right," Trump wrote in the same Truth Social post, while criticizing the 2015 nuclear deal that former President Barack Obama negotiated with Iran.

"Our relationship with Iran is becoming a much more professional and productive one. They must understand, however, that they cannot develop or procure a nuclear weapon or bomb," Trump wrote.
