US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that he was in “deciding mode” over the Iran war , warning that “big things are going to happen”. His remarks came after Tehran said it had shared its conditions with Washington, through mediators, for reopening the Strait of Hormuz .
A senior delegation is likely to accompany him, Iran’s semi-official news agency Tasnim reported. Trump’s comments come ahead of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian’s expected visit to New York to attend the United Nations General Assembly . “My question is, if and when do I blow the entire nation up? He added that the group had agreed not to attack American personnel. Trump was also asked about Pezeshkian’s planned visit to the US for the UN General Assembly and whether he would consider meeting the Iranian president.
In a reported conversation with Fox News, Trump said he was in “deciding mode” and warned that “very big things are going to be happening in the not-so-distant future” if the Iranian regime does not “behave”. They had better behave,” he said. Regarding other conflicts in the region, Trump said Washington remains in contact with Yemen’s Houthi rebels following their recent ballistic missile attacks targeting Saudi Arabia. He said he would “probably be open” to meeting Pezeshkian, who is also expected to meet and consult leaders from several countries on the sidelines of the UN gathering.
Notably, Iran has communicated seven conditions to the United States through Qatar to resume negotiations aimed at bringing the ongoing war to an end, the country’s top negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said on Sunday.
