US President Donald Trump declines to rule out meeting with Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani even as his administration piled more sanctions on Tehran.
Asked at the White House whether he might meet with the Iranian leader at the United Nations, Trump responds: “Sure, anything is possible.”
Rouhani announced earlier today that Tehran was poised to take another step back from its commitments under a 2015 nuclear deal, from which the US withdrew from in May.
A short time after Rouhani’s statement, US officials announced new sanctions on Iran, this time targeting a shipping network it said was run by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard to smuggle oil.
Brian Hook, the State Department coordinator on Iran, also ruled out a French-proposed credit line that Tehran said could bring it back into full compliance with the 2015 deal curbing its nuclear program.
