WASHINGTON, April 20. /TASS/. US President Donald Trump says he doesn’t think that time is his adversary in the situation surrounding Iran.
"I’m not going to let them rush the United States into making a deal that is not as good as it could have been. I read the fake news saying that I am under 'pressure' to make a deal. This is not true! I am under no pressure whatsoever, although, it will all happen, relatively quickly! Time is not my adversary," he wrote on his Truth Social platform, commenting on contacts with Iran.
"If a deal happens under 'Trump,' it will guarantee peace, security, and safety, not only for Israel and the Middle East, but for Europe, America, and everywhere else. It will be something that the entire world will be proud of!" he wrote in another post.
The United States and Israel launched a large-scale operation against Iran on February 28. On April 7, the United States announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran.
