President Donald Trump said the US is close to what he called a "very good deal" with Iran.
In an interview with Fox News on May 30, Trump said the one guarantee he must secure is that Iran does not have nuclear weapons. He added that Iran had agreed to that and said a good deal cannot be rushed.
Trump also stressed that the Strait of Hormuz should reopen. It should be opened immediately and allow free passage, he said, adding that there should be no transit fees.
He also said any deal that is not beneficial to the US is a red line. If he does not get the outcome he wants, Trump said, he will end the war in another way. He added that he would seek the involvement of the US War Department, referring to the Pentagon, if talks collapse.
