Trump tells U.S. negotiators 'not to rush into a deal' with Iran: 'Time is on our side'

President Trump said on Sunday that he has told U.S. negotiators "not to rush into a deal" with Iran at this time. 

On Saturday, Trump had said that a peace deal with Iran was "largely negotiated."

Trump emphasized that the U.S. naval blockade will "remain in full force" in the meantime. 

"One of the worst deals ever made by our Country was the Iran Nuclear Deal, put forth and signed into existence by Barack Hussein Obama and the rank amateurs of the Obama Administration. It was a direct path to Iran developing a Nuclear Weapon. Not so with the transaction currently being negotiated with Iran by the Trump Administration - THE EXACT OPPOSITE, in fact!" Trump wrote in an update on Truth Social.

"The negotiations are proceeding in an orderly and constructive manner, and I have informed my representatives not to rush into a deal in that time is on our side. The Blockade will remain in full force and effect until an agreement is reached, certified, and signed. Both sides must take their time and get it right. There can be no mistakes! Our relationship with Iran is becoming a much more professional and productive one. They must understand, however, that they cannot develop or procure a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb," he added.

In the post, Trump thanked Arab countries of the Middle East for their support and cooperation, which he said "will be further enhanced and strengthened by their joining the Nations of the historic Abraham Accords and, who knows, perhaps the Islamic Republic of Iran would like to join, as well!"
