Trump Says Iran Unlikely to Accept Deal as 60-Day Nuclear Negotiation Deadline EndsPreviousNext

US President Donald Trump stated that Iran is unlikely to agree to the terms he considers necessary as the 60-day negotiation period on Iran's nuclear program ended without a deal. Trump emphasized that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and expressed support for declaring the Strait of Hormuz a US-controlled territory, citing effective blockade measures. He also noted that the strait remains open, oil prices are falling, and Iran faces economic challenges. Trump did not provide further details on the status of negotiations.
