U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday he is not ready to make a deal to end the war with Iran at this stage, despite Tehran’s willingness to negotiate, saying the proposed terms are “not good enough yet.”, News.Az reports, citing Shafaq.
In a telephone interview with NBC News, Trump noted that any terms will have to be “very solid,” refusing to mention the terms he prefers. The US President noted that he is asking “numerous countries that are affected by the thuggery of Iran” to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, saying several countries have committed to helping secure the strait, but declined to name any of them.

He questioned whether Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is alive after Khamenei did not appear on camera to issue his first statement as Iran’s leader. “I’m hearing he’s not alive, and if he is, he should do something very smart for his country, and that’s surrender,” Trump added, calling the news of his death “a rumor.”
