Washington DC: US President Donald Trump on Sunday night (local time) indicated that negotiations with Iran are progressing positively. He also expressed
confidence that a potential agreement would benefit both the United States and its allies. In a post on Truth Social, Trump also took a dig at his political critics. Trump stated that constant public pressure and conflicting demands from opponents and some members of his own party make diplomatic efforts more challenging. Despite the criticism, he maintained that the situation remains under control and voiced optimism about a successful outcome to the ongoing talks. "Iran really wants to make a deal, and it will be a good one for the U.S.A. and those that are with us. But don’t the Dumocrats, and various seemingly unpatriotic Republicans, understand that it is MUCH tougher for me to properly do my job and negotiate, when political hacks keep negatively “chirping,” at levels never seen before, over and over again, that I should move faster, or move slower, or go to war, or not go to war, or whatever. Just sit back and relax, it will all work out well in the end - It always does!" the US President wrote in his Truth Social post. Trump On Iran Deal: Earlier in the day, Trump aid that any deal between Washington and Tehran will bar the latter from acquiring nuclear weapons. Taking to his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump wrote, "Fake News CNN said today, routinely, that my Iran Nuclear Deal doesn't talk about Nuclear, when actually it states, very clearly, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon."
"It then goes on, in very strong and lengthy detail, to discuss various other aspects of Nuclear. In fact, that's what most of the agreement is about. CNN, and aso many other Fake News Media, is a Low Ratings disaster. Even with new ownership, it is unlikely to ever get better!!" Trump wrote.
In an interview with Fox News, Trump said that the US and Iran are close to a "very good deal". Trump said that there could be two ways - either the two sides reach a deal, or it could end "militarily."
