US President Donald Trump tells Fox News that Iran is becoming “much more aggressive” in the ongoing nuclear talks.
“Iran is acting much differently in negotiations than it did just days ago… Much more aggressive. It’s surprising to me. It’s disappointing, but we are set to meet again tomorrow – we’ll see,” Trump says.
Fox also cites a senior administration official who says Iran appears to be dragging its feet in negotiations, while still moving forward in its nuclear enrichment efforts.
Yesterday, Trump told reporters that the Iranians are “tough negotiators,” while reiterating that he would not allow Tehran to enrich uranium on its soil.
The US proposal for a nuclear deal would reportedly allow just that, though, for a temporary period of time.
Iran is slated to issue a counter-proposal in the coming days, as the sides gear up for a sixth round of nuclear talks over the weekend.
