US President Donald Trump has stated that his country could reach a peace agreement with Iran shortly after the congressional midterm elections, which will be held in early November.
Speaking at the general debate of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly in New York, he said: “I believe we'll make a deal right after the election because it doesn't make sense for them not to,” Caliber.Az reports, citing Reuters.
The US president stressed that the midterm elections do not influence his decisions regarding Iran.
In his words, Iran has repeatedly rejected Washington’s proposals for a deal on its nuclear programme.
"I have a big decision to make. Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before?" he said.
"Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again. Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no hope of future greatness or generations?"
