Trump says open to new Iran deal, confirms sanctions return
US President Donald Trump says he remains open to forging a new nuclear deal with Iran, as he confirmed Washington will go ahead with reimposing sanctions against Tehran.
“I remain open to reaching a more comprehensive deal that addresses the full range of the regime’s malign activities, including its ballistic missile program and its support for terrorism,” Trump says in a statement after he signed the executive order officially launching the sanctions.
A first phase of US sanctions against Iran goes into effect at midnight in Washington.
