Trump claims Iran seeks peace deal with US

US President Donald Trump stated that Iran wants to reach an agreement with Washington and is optimistic that ongoing negotiations will yield positive results. On Truth Social, Trump said, ‘Tehran truly wants to make a deal and said the potential agreement would be good for the US and our partners,’ on Monday (1 June). Trump also criticised his political opponents and members of his own party, whom he claims are complicating diplomatic efforts with conflicting demands. He said negotiations become ‘much more difficult’ when politicians keep calling for different approaches, from speeding up or slowing down the process to supporting or opposing military action. Trump referred to the criticism as ‘chirping’ or chatter he claims is at an unprecedented level. He also urged the public to be patient as negotiations continue. ‘Just sit tight and calm down, everything will end well in the end — it always does!’ Trump said. Tensions in the Middle East escalated after the US and Israel launched attacks on Iran in February. Tehran then retaliated by striking targets in Israel and US allies in the Gulf region, as well as closing the Strait of Hormuz. A ceasefire took effect on 8 April following Pakistan’s mediation, but further talks in Islamabad failed to produce a permanent agreement. Since then, both sides have exchanged proposals and counter-proposals in efforts to resume direct negotiations and end the conflict. (Antara/P-3) According to reports by Iranian state media including Fars News Agency, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stated the actions were in response to US attacks. Recent satellite analysis revealed the failure of US and Israeli bombing strategies. Iran successfully restored its underground missile base using only basic heavy machinery. On 28 February, the US and Israel launched joint strikes on several targets in Iran, causing damage and civilian casualties. Iranian media also dismissed Trump’s claim that enriched uranium would be destroyed as baseless. US President Donald Trump said the US is closer to a ‘very good’ deal with Iran but remains open to military options if negotiations fail. Russia requested large sums of funds between November and March, including foreign currency and gold bars worth tens of millions of US dollars. The statement was made by Mojtaba on Tuesday (26 May) in a message marking the peak of the Hajj pilgrimage, according to Iranian state news agency IRNA. Iran is the sole entity making the US superpower appear amateurish.
