US President Donald Trump claimed that the US and Iran<\/a> had made multiple deals, which Iran then refused to acknowledge, in an interview with Fox News on Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really had the confines of a deal\u2026.every time they make a deal, the next day it\u2019s like we didn\u2019t have that conversation,\u201d Trump<\/a> said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The deal included Iran giving the US its enriched uranium, Trump claimed, adding that only the US and China<\/a> have the required equipment needed to extract the uranium from where it is buried beneath rubble as a result of US-Israeli strikes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To ensure the uranium is not extracted before a deal is reached, the US has the site under surveillance, with nine cameras focused on it from the US Space Force, the president said.<\/p>\n

Trump<\/a> attributed the troubles with negotiation to internal conflicts and uncertainties within the Iranian leadership.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a way, we\u2019ve eliminated so many leaders that it\u2019s almost, I\u2019m trying to figure out who the hell we are dealing with, all right?\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

The president has expressed this sentiment repeatedly in the past weeks, telling reporters there is \u201ctremendous discord,\u201d and that \u201cthe leadership is very disjointed.\u201d In one speech, Trump called Iran \u201cthe only country in the world [where] no one wants to be a leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

While talking to the press later, Trump said that he would accept a deal in which Iran agreed to cease uranium enrichment for 20 years, on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwenty years is enough\u2026it\u2019s got to be a real 20 years, not a fake 20,\u201d Trump said, adding that all the nuclear material would need to be extracted.<\/p>\n

When questioned whether the US would launch an operation to go into Iran to extract the uranium, Trump said that Iran would be \u201ctotally defeated,\u201d and therefore, there would be no risk if the US were to go in.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the right time, we\u2019ll either go in, or we\u2019ll get it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"US President Donald Trump claimed that the US and Iran had made multiple deals, which Iran then refused…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":444143,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[54,42,87,92,43,40,38,41,39,11605,76279],"class_list":["post-444142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-donald-trump","tag-headlines","tag-iran","tag-iran-nuclear","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories","tag-uranium","tag-us-iran"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=444142"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444142\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/444143"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=444142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=444142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=444142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
