“On devices”. Trump's metaphor for the US-Iran truce, after the “mess” of the Iranians' proposal
The cease-fire agreement between the United States and Iran, which took effect more than a month ago, is still valid, but it is “incredibly weak,” US President Donald Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Monday, according to CNN and CBS News.
The American leader said that the truce is “on the cards” at the moment.
“It's incredibly weak, I would say,” said Trump, who claims the latest negotiating proposals from the Iranian side have been a “mess.” “I didn't even read it all the way through,” he added.
Iranian and US forces have attacked each other in the Strait of Hormuz area since the ceasefire agreement took effect on April 8.
Discontent over the future of enriched uranium
On Monday, Donald Trump accused Iran of breaking a deal to allow the United States to remove its stockpile of enriched uranium.
“They screwed themselves, because they didn't put it in the paper,” Trump said.
According to the American president, the Iranian side had committed during the negotiations to give up the enriched uranium, on the condition that the US would remove it from the country.
“They told me, first of all, you're going to get it, but you're going to have to get it out,” he said, referring to the uranium buried under nuclear sites that US forces bombed last year. they bombed them last year. “The site was so destroyed that there are only one or two countries in the world that could get it,” Trump said.
The other country that the Iranians claim is capable of recovering the uranium is China, the US leader noted.
Donald Trump claims that, despite the talks, the Iranian side did not include this deal in the latest proposals submitted to Washington.
“I just can't get there,” he said. “They agree with us and then they withdraw their agreement,” Trump added.
