JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that negotiations with Iran were going well, adding that he believed Tehran had agreed to almost all of Washington's key demands.
"We are negotiating. I think they have agreed to almost everything we need," President Trump said in an interview with CNBC, Anadolu (3/7) reported.
President Trump reiterated that the United States was not seeking regime change in Iran, saying Washington's goal remained to prevent Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
"We are not looking for regime change. I am looking for something very simple: they should not have nuclear weapons," he said.
President Trump also defended the recent US military action against Iran, saying the country had been "totally defeated militarily."
"I've defeated them militarily. They've really been defeated militarily. They still have some missiles, we can destroy them too, and I hit them three times last week very hard, because they sent a drone to a ship," he said.
Qatari and Pakistani mediators said on Thursday the next round of US-Iranian talks would be held "as soon as possible," after the funeral of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a US-Israeli attack on February 28, with the funeral ceremony scheduled to take place from July 4 to July 9.
