U.S. President Donald Trump revealed that he began holding talks with Iran in secret nuclear deals.
Trump revealed on Fox business on Friday, March 7 that he sent a letter to Iran and its leadership yesterday hoping to start negotiations and reach an agreement.
“I said I hope you can negotiate because it will be much better for Iran,” Trump revealed.
“I think they want to receive that letter. Another option is that we have to do something because you can’t get another nuclear weapon. ”
The letter was given to Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has not yet responded publicly.
Trump continued: “There are two ways to deal with Iran: military, or you reach an agreement.” “I would rather reach an agreement because I don’t want to hurt Iran. They are great people.
Trump withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal during his first term in 2018.
Last month, Khamenei said it would not be “smart” to reopen nuclear talks with the United States.
This is after President Donald Trump threatened to “eliminate” the country, while also saying he would “love to make a deal.”
On Tuesday, Trump also signed an executive order outlining the “maximum pressure” campaign against Tehran.
During the signing process, Trump warned that if Iran assassinated him after officials ordered the killing of Quds’ force leader Qasem Soleimani – there will be retribution.
Trump replied: “If they do, they will be eliminated.” “I left the instructions. If they do, they will be eliminated and nothing remains.
In the same appearance, Trump said he felt “ripped” by signing the order because he wanted to reach an agreement with Iran to prevent Middle Eastern countries from obtaining nuclear weapons.
In his speech, Khamenei pointed out that Trump is the reason why the nuclear deal with the United States no longer exists.
“The person in charge tore it apart,” Khamenei said.
He told the Iranians that they shouldn’t do it again.
“It is neither wise, wise or glorious to negotiate with the United States,” he said in a speech marking the anniversary of Iran’s 1979 Revolution. “This will not solve any of our problems. reason? experience! ‘
Khamenei also rejected Trump’s plan to demand that the U.S. control the war-torn Gaza, which the president floated on Tuesday during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the White House.
“On paper, Americans are changing the world map,” Khamenei said. “Of course, it’s just on paper because it has no reality.”
