President Donald Trump said on June 1 that negotiations with Iran “will work out well” and produce a deal that is “good for the U.S. and those that are with us.”
Trump stated that critics from both parties who repeatedly urge faster or slower action, war or no war, are making negotiations more difficult by “negatively chirping.” He wrote that the critics “are making it tougher for me to negotiate.”
Trump rejected a draft memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the war with Iran and sent a revised version with tougher conditions back to Tehran, Yonhap reported. Last week the two sides had been reported to be approaching an MOU that would extend a ceasefire for 60 days, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and continue talks on Iran’s nuclear program.
U.S. military forces carried out self-defense strikes on Iranian radar and command sites for drones after Iran launched ballistic missiles at U.S. troops in Kuwait, according to reports cited by Yonhap.
