US President Donald Trump said that “on a human basis”, he prefers not to order more strikes on Iran.
US Iran war news LIVE: The United States and Iran failed to meet a middle ground for a sustainable end to the war as President Donald said on Friday in the White House that he is not happy with the current status of negotiations. Claiming that Iran wants to make a deal, Trump told reporters, “but I’m not satisfied with it.”
“We just had a conversation with Iran. Let’s see what happens. But I would say that I am not happy,” he said.
He did not provide much details on the nature of the talks and who from the Iranian side participated, but said, “they’ve made strides, but I’m not sure if they ever get there.”
However, even amidst his displeasure, Trump fell short of threatening renewed military action against Iran.
Trump’s remarks came after Iran sent a revised peace proposal to the US through Pakistan, which is mediating the peace talks, reported IRNA. Iran’s previous offer was rejected by Trump. However, it is unclear whether Trump was directly referring to Iran’s new proposal while make the remarks.
The war between Iran and the US has been going on for over two months now, but currently remains under a temporary ceasefire as both the side attempt to strike a deal to end the war for good.
