President Trump confirmed he requested Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to strike Iran's nuclear facilities recently, emphasizing ongoing discussions with Tehran. Trump believes a robust agreement could be achieved, potentially announced soon. He expressed skepticism towards past nuclear agreements, vowing a stronger deal with comprehensive inspections. The president reiterated that maintaining peace during negotiations could avert unnecessary casualties, highlighting the urgency and significance of achieving a diplomatic solution to the Iran nuclear issue amid strained international relations.
I'd like to be honest. Yes, I did," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. "I said I don't think it's appropriate. We're talking, we're having very good discussions with them..."
I told [Netanyahu] this would be inappropriate to do right now because we're very close to a solution... it could save a lot of lives."
Trump said a potential deal would be 'very strong' compared to Obama's 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)..."
I want it very strong where we can go in with inspectors," he said. "We can take whatever we want, we can blow up whatever we want, but nobody getting killed."
