Despite the lack of clarity about a possible further round of negotiations, the US government sees itself closer than ever to what they believe is a good deal with Iran. “The United States has never been as close to making a really good deal as it is right now – in contrast to the terrible deal that Barack Hussein Obama signed,” White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told Fox News. She was referring to the 2015 nuclear deal, which US President Donald Trump later withdrew.
The USA is close to an agreementLeavitt continued. If that doesn’t happen, the president has several options at his disposal, “which he will use without hesitation.” Trump has previously shown that he follows his words with actions.
According to Trump, the agreed ceasefire between the USA and Iran expires on Wednesday evening Washington time. If there is no agreement, he will order attacks on the energy sector and civil infrastructuresaid Trump. It is unclear whether there will be a second round of negotiations before the end of the ceasefire. (sda/dpa)
