A day earlier, Trump had taken a hardline on the Iran talks.
>> The deal with Iran will either be a great and meaningful one or there will be no deal. It will be the exact opposite of the JCPOA disaster negotiated by the failed Obama administration, which was a direct and open path to a nuclear weapon for Iran.
No, I don't do deals like that.
The developments come at a critical diplomatic moment. Senior Iranian officials have traveled to Doha for negotiations. The delegations include Foreign Minister Abbasari and Parliament Speaker Muhammad Bakir Galibbaf. The talks are aimed at ending the nearly three-month conflict. Discussions are also focused on a possible memorandum of understanding. The proposed deal is linked to ending the war. It is also aimed at easing disruptions around the straight of Hormos. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio during his visit to India suggested diplomatic progress was possible.

However, both Washington and Thran later downplayed hopes of an immediate breakthrough.
>> Look, the president's not going to make a bad deal. He's just not. This this issue, no one has done more, and no one has been more serious about the threat of a nuclear Iran than President Trump has been. And so, I'm very confident that we should all be very confident that we're not going to have a we're either going to have a good agreement or we're going to have to deal with it another way. We'd prefer to have a good agreement.
Meanwhile, Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson said progress had been made on several issues under discussion, but he stressed that no final agreement was close.
>> It is true that we have reached a conclusion regarding a large part of the topics under discussion. But to say that this means the signing of an agreement is imminent, no one can make such a claim for the same reasons you mentioned yourself. Because policym and decision-making in America have become caught in a kind of institutionalized instability.
The wider regional conflict is also intensifying. Israeli Prime Minister Ben Netanyahu announced an expansion of operations against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. The announcement came despite an existing US brokered ceasefire there.
Nathan Yahu said Israel would increase military pressure. He also declared that Israel was at war with Hezbollah.
Despite renewed military action, talks between Washington and Thran are still continuing. That is largely because both sides are trying to avoid a wider regional war.

Meanwhile, Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson said progress had been made on several issues under discussion, but he stressed that no final agreement was close.

But to say that this means the signing of an agreement is imminent, no one can make such a claim for the same reasons you mentioned yourself. because policym and decision-m in America have become caught in a kind of institutionalized instability.
The wider regional conflict is also intensifying. Israeli Prime Minister Ben Netanyahu announced an expansion of operations against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. The announcement came despite an existing US brokered ceasefire there.
Nathan Yahu said Israel would increase military pressure. He also declared that Israel was at war with Hezbollah.
Despite renewed military action, talks between Washington and Thran are still continuing. That is largely because both sides are trying to avoid a wider regional war. The Strait of Hormus, meanwhile, remains a major pressure point for global oil supplies and neither side appears ready to completely walk away from negotiations yet. So for now, both sides appear to be keeping one foot in diplomacy and the other in confrontation. A fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran is under pressure once again. The US has carried out what it calls self-defense strikes in southern Iran. According to US Central Command, the strikes targeted Iranian missile launch sites. Washington also claimed it struck boats allegedly trying to place mines near the straight of Hormuz. Multiple explosions were reported in the strategic port city of Bandarabas. The city is home to key Iranian naval and air bases. Pandarabas is located along the straight of Hormuz.
Iranian agencies also reported explosions near Sirk and Jusk in the Persian Gulf region. Iranian armed forces claimed they had destroyed a hostile drone in the Gulf region. The Revolutionary Guard later said air defenses in Bandaras were activated to counter threats. The latest actions add to a series of violations and military exchanges. These exchanges have continued despite the ceasefire announced on April 8. Trump had earlier said he didn't consider these to be a breach of the truce. Meanwhile, the straight of hormones remains at the center of tensions as Iran continues to maintain tight controls on Gulf shipping. At the same time, the US Navy has continued pressure operations near Iranian ports. President Donald Trump, however, reiterated demands over Iran's enriched uranium. Trump said Iran should hand over the uranium to the United States for destruction. He also said it could be destroyed under international supervision. Trump additionally pushed for broader regional alignment through the Ibraim Accords. He said it should be part of any future peace arrangement. A day earlier, Trump had taken a hard line on the Iran talks.

No, I don't do deals like that.
The developments come at a critical diplomatic moment. Senior Iranian officials have traveled to Dha for negotiations. The delegations include Foreign Minister Abbasarachi and Parliament Speaker Muhammad Bakir Galibbaf. The talks are aimed at ending the nearly three-month conflict.
Discussions are also focused on a possible memorandum of understanding.
The proposed deal is linked to ending the war. It is also aimed at easing disruptions around the straight of Hormus. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio during his visit to India suggested diplomatic progress was possible. Rubio said Washington wanted to give negotiations every chance, adding that the US would consider alternatives only if diplomacy failed.
However, both Washington and Thran later downplayed hopes of an immediate breakthrough.

Discussions are also focused on a possible memorandum of understanding. The proposed deal is linked to ending the war. It is also aimed at easing disruptions around the straight of Hormus. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio during his visit to India suggested diplomatic progress was possible. Rubio said Washington wanted to give negotiations every chance, adding that the US would consider alternatives only if diplomacy failed.
However, both Washington and Thran later downplayed hopes of an immediate breakthrough.
>> Look, the president's not going to make a bad deal. He's just not. This this issue, no one has done more, and no one has been more serious about the threat of a nuclear Iran than President Trump has been. And so, I'm very confident, we should all be very confident that we're not going to have a we're either going to have a good agreement or we're going to have to deal with it another way.
We'd prefer to have a good agreement.
Meanwhile, Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson said progress had been made on several issues under discussion, but he stressed that no final agreement was close.
>> It is true that we have reached a conclusion regarding a large part of the topics under discussion. But to say that this means the signing of an agreement is imminent, no one can make such a claim for the same reasons you mentioned yourself. because policym and decision-m in America have become caught in a kind of institutionalized instability.
The wider regional conflict is also intensifying. Israeli Prime Minister Ben Netanyahu announced an expansion of operations against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. The announcement came despite an existing US brokered ceasefire there.
Nathan Yahu said Israel would increase military pressure. He also declared that Israel was at war with Hezbollah.
Despite renewed military action, talks between Washington and Thran are still continuing. That is largely because both sides are trying to avoid a wider regional war. The Strait of Hormus, meanwhile, remains a major pressure point for global oil supplies and neither side appears ready to completely walk away from negotiations yet. So for now, both sides appear to be keeping one foot in diplomacy and the other in confrontation. A fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran is under pressure once again. The US has carried out what it calls self-defense strikes in southern Iran. According to US Central Command, the strikes targeted Iranian missile launch sites. Washington also claimed it struck boats allegedly trying to place mines near the straight of Hormuz. Multiple explosions were reported in the strategic port city of Bandarabas. The city is home to key Iranian naval and air bases. Pandarabas is located along the straight of Hormuz.
Iranian agencies also reported explosions near Sirk and Jusk in the Persian Gulf region. Iranian armed forces claimed they had destroyed a hostile drone in the Gulf region. The Revolutionary Guard later said air defenses in Bandaras were activated to counter threats. The latest actions add to a series of violations and military exchanges. These exchanges have continued despite the ceasefire announced on April 8. Trump had earlier said he didn't consider these to be a breach of the truths. Meanwhile, the strait of hormones remains at the center of tensions as Iran continues to maintain tight controls on Gulf shipping. At the same time, the US Navy has continued pressure operations near Iranian ports. President Donald Trump, however, reiterated demands over Iran's enriched uranium. Trump said Iran should hand over the uranium to the United States for destruction. He also said it could be destroyed under international supervision. Trump additionally pushed for broader regional alignment through the Ibraim Accords. He said it should be part of any future peace arrangement. A day earlier, Trump had taken a hard line on the Iran talks.
>> The deal with Iran will either be a great and meaningful one or there will be no deal. It will be the exact opposite of the JCPOA disaster negotiated by the failed Obama administration, which was a direct and open path to a nuclear weapon for Iran.
No, I don't do deals like that.

Trump said Iran should hand over the uranium to the United States for destruction. He also said it could be destroyed under international supervision. Trump additionally pushed for broader regional alignment through the Ibrahim Accords. He said it should be part of any future peace arrangement.
A day earlier, Trump had taken a hardline on the Iran talks.
The deal with Iran will either be a great and meaningful one or there will be no deal. It will be the exact opposite of the JCPOA disaster negotiated by the failed Obama administration which was a direct and open path to a nuclear weapon for Iran.
No, I don't do deals like that.
>> The developments come at a critical diplomatic moment. Senior Iranian officials have traveled to DHA for negotiations. The delegations include foreign minister Abbasari and Parliament Speaker Muhammad Bakir Galibaf. The talks are aimed at ending the nearly three-month conflict. Discussions are also focused on a possible memorandum of understanding. The proposed deal is linked to ending the war. It is also aimed at easing disruptions around the state of Hormos. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio during his visit to India suggested diplomatic progress was possible. Rubio said Washington wanted to give negotiations every chance, adding that the US would consider alternatives only if diplomacy failed.
However, both Washington and Thran later downplayed hopes of an immediate breakthrough.
>> Look, the president's not going to make a bad deal. He's just not. This this issue, no one has done more and no one has been more serious about the threat of a nuclear Iran than President Trump has been. And so, I'm very confident, we should all be very confident, that we're not going to have a we're either going to have a good agreement or we're going to have to deal with it another way.
We'd prefer to have a good agreement.
Meanwhile, Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson said progress had been made on several issues under discussion, but he stressed that no final agreement was close. um in >> it is true that we have reached
