Donald Trump revealed that he started secret nuclear deal with Iran.
Trump said on Friday at Fox Business that he sent a letter to Iran and his leadership yesterday in the hope of starting conversations and getting a deal.
“I said I hope you will negotiate because it will be a lot better for Iran,” Trump revealed.
“I think they want to get that letter. The other alternative is that we have to do something, because you can't leave no other nuclear weapon. '
The letter was addressed to the highest leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has not yet responded publicly.
“There are two ways in which Iran can be treated: military, or you make a deal,” Trump went on. 'I would rather close a deal because I am not looking to hurt Iran. They are great people. '
During his first term of office, Trump withdrew from Iran's nuclear deal in 2018.
“I said I hope you will negotiate because it will be a lot better for Iran,” Trump revealed
Last month, Khamenei said that reopening of nuclear conversations with the US would not be 'smart'.
It came after President Donald Trump threatened to 'destroy' the nation, while he also said that he would “like to close a deal.”
On Tuesday, Trump also signed an executive order with a 'maximum pressure' campaign against Tehran.
During that signing, Trump warned if Iran killed him – as civil servants threatened to do after ordering the murder of Qasem -leader Qasem Soleimani – there would be retribution.
“If they did, they would be erased,” Trump replied. “I left instructions. If they do it, they will be erased, there is nothing left. '
During the same appearance, Trump said that he was 'torn' over signing the order because he would like to close a deal with Iran, to prevent the nation from getting a nuclear weapon in the middle.
In his comments, Khamenei pointed to Trump as the reason that a nuclear deal with the US no longer existed.
“The responsible person suspended it,” said Khamenei.
He told Iranians that they should not do it again.
“Negotiating with America is neither smart, wise or honorable,” he said in comments on the occasion of the anniversary of Iran's revolution from 1979. “It will not solve any of our problems. The reason? Experience!'
Khamenei also rejected Trump's plan for the US to take control of Gaza torn by war, something that the President drove on Tuesday during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to the White House.
“Americans change the world map on paper,” said Khamenei. “Of course it is only on paper because it has no reality.”
The supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said last month that reopening conversations with the US would not be 'smart' after President Donald Trump threatened to 'destroy' the nation, while he also said he would 'like to close a deal' with Iran
During Trump's first term, the Republican president withdrew from the joint comprehensive plan of action from the Obama era, known as the Iran Nuclear deal.
Trump then supplied sanctions on the Iran's economy and wriggled it.
In January 2020 he gave the order to kill Soleimani outside Baghdad airport.
Since then, Trump and other high -ranking US government officials have been under the murder threat.
During his first few weeks in office, Trump has deleted security data from some of these officials – in particular former national security adviser John Bolton and former State Secretary Mike Pompeo.
