Trump says Israel’s attack on Iran could lead Iran to soften stance in nuclear talks
US President Donald Trump says Israel’s ongoing strikes against Iran could coax Tehran to agree to a nuclear deal.
Asked whether the strikes will jeopardize the ongoing negotiations, Trump tells Axios, “I don’t think so. Maybe the opposite. Maybe now they will negotiate seriously.”
He says Iran now has more of an incentive to reach a deal following Israel’s crippling strikes, noting that the IDF used “great American equipment” in the attack.
“I gave Iran 60 days, today is day 61… They should have made a deal,” Trump says. “I couldn’t get them to a deal in 60 days. They were close, they should have done it. Maybe now it will happen.”
