US wants to strike 'a very good deal' with Iran — Trump

At the same time, he warned that Washington will not allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons

WASHINGTON, February 5. /TASS/. The United States would like to strike "a very good deal" with Iran to settle the issue of Tehran’s nuclear program, US President Donald Trump said.

"I say this to Iran, who's listening very intently, 'I would love to be able to make a great deal. A deal where you can get on with your lives,'" Trump told reporters at a joint news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"I hope we're going to be able to do something so that it doesn't end up in a very catastrophic situation," he continued.

At the same time, he warned that Washington will not allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons.

"They cannot have one thing. They cannot have a nuclear weapon," Trump added. "If they can convince us that they won't, and I hope they can, it's very easy to do."
