US President Donald Trump said that he is “not satisfied” with proposals from Iran, reports say that Tehran has delivered a new plan to Pakistan which is mediating between the two sides.
President Trump told reporters on Friday afternoon: “We just had a conversation with Iran. Let’s see what happens. But, I would say that I am not happy.”
He said a deal has been hard to reach in part because Iranian leadership was “very confused”, after a number of its top military officials were killed in the war.
Trump said he was briefed with options by US Central Command on Thursday, ranging from “blast the hell out of them and finish them forever” to “make a deal”.
