He also slammed the Democrats and “unpatriotic Republicans” for “negatively chirping” about the pace and direction of the talks, stating that it makes it harder for him to do his job properly.
“Iran really wants to make a deal, and it will be a good one for the U.S.A. and those that are with us,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
“But don’t the Dumocrats, and various seemingly unpatriotic Republicans, understand that it is MUCH tougher for me to properly do my job and negotiate, when political hacks keep negatively “chirping,” at levels never seen before, over and over again, that I should move faster, or move slower, or go to war, or not go to war, or whatever. Just sit back and relax, it will all work out well in the end – It always does,” he added.
‘Lack of trust, contradictory US positions slowing diplomatic process,’ says Iran
Iran said that delays in the diplomatic process between Iran and the United States stem from a lack of trust, Washington’s contradictory positions and ongoing Israeli military operations in Lebanon.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said that negotiations between the warring nations began amid “severe suspicion and mistrust” and that Washington was constantly changing views and putting forward “new or contradictory demands.”
“Negotiations have started amid severe suspicion and mistrust, and the exchange of messages is taking place in this atmosphere,” Baghaei said.
“The other party is constantly changing its views and putting forward new or contradictory demands… it is natural that this situation will prolong negotiations,” he added.
He further said that a ceasefire in Lebanon remained a key condition for Tehran to end the war with US.
“We insist that a ceasefire in Lebanon is an essential condition for any deal aimed at ending the war,” Baghaei said as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz instruct Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to strike targets in Beirut’s Dahiyeh district.
