Trump labels Obama's Iran deal a disaster, calling critics weak and divisive.
Washington | US President Donald Trump has flatly rejected any weak deal with Iran. He termed the 2015 nuclear agreement signed during former President Obama's tenure as a major disaster.
Trump targeted critics on social media. He stated that there would either be an excellent and strong agreement with Iran or no agreement at all.
“Those who know nothing about the agreement with Iran are criticizing it.” - Donald Trump
No agreement has been signed between the two countries yet. Earlier, there were reports about a ceasefire and opening the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday.
Iran has conveyed its verbal message to the US through Oman. Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi confirmed this diplomatic message.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian clarified that no major decision in the country would be taken without the Supreme Leader's approval.
Israel is highly concerned about this potential deal. Israeli officials believe this gives Iran the leverage to use the Hormuz route as a weapon.
Donald Trump's tough stance makes it clear that the US is now working on a strategy of maximum pressure on Iran. Major political shifts in the Middle East are expected.
