Trump says Iran desperate for new deal with US

US President Donald Trump said Iran is desperate to reach an agreement with the United States.

Trump added that the US is not interested in meeting with Iranian officials, despite their strong desire for talks, according to Al Arabiya.

He continued that Iran will not obtain a nuclear weapon, while former President Barack Obama's agreement paved the way for it to do so.

Trump also said the US will respond if anything happens in the Red Sea, noting that rebuilding Iran would take 20 to 25 years and that sanctions remain in place.
