US President Donald Trump said negotiations with Iran are proceeding in an orderly and constructive manner and that there is no rush to reach a deal. Iranian officials said key differences still need to be settled. Frozen Iranian assets remain a sticking point, with Iran demanding the release of assets held abroad under longstanding US sanctions. Iran’s semi-official news agency reported that a possible agreement could still be cancelled at the last minute due to unresolved clauses. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he agreed with Trump on eliminating Iran’s nuclear danger and preserving Israel’s right to defend itself in Lebanon. The European Commission president hailed progress toward an agreement.
