US President Donald Trump said on Monday that there were “major points of agreement” with Iran following discussions over the weekend, as the two sides continue talks amid the ongoing conflict.
Speaking to reporters in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump said the negotiations had been productive despite communication challenges.
“We have had very, very strong talks. We’ll see where they lead. We have major points of agreement. I would say almost all points of agreement. Perhaps that hasn’t been conveyed. The communication, as you know, has been blown to pieces. They’re unable to talk to each other,” Trump said.
The US president also said the two sides were discussing a 15-point framework to end the conflict, adding that Iran giving up nuclear weapons was the top priority in the talks.
He said the issue was covered in points “number one, two and three. ”
“It’s very hard for them to get out, I guess. But we’ll at some point very, very soon meet. We’re doing a five day period. We’ll see how that goes and if it goes well, we’re going to end up with sett this. Otherwise we just keep bombing our little hearts here,” Trump said.
Trump says US strikes stopped Iran’s nuclear push
Trump also said the United States had carried out strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities using B-2 bombers to prevent Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, claiming that Iran could have obtained one within weeks if the attack had not taken place.
