Here's what we learned from a Cabinet meeting at The White House about U.S. peace deal negotiations with Iran Iran hasn't 'gotten there': Trump said Iran "wants very much to make a deal" but they "haven't gotten there", as the US was "not satisfied" with the talks. 'Some progress': Marco Rubio reiterated his lines that there has been "some progress" in talks, but that options beyond diplomacy are on the table.

No concessions on Strait of Hormuz: Trump said he would not accept a rumoured Iran-Oman attempt to control the shipping lane and threatened to "blow them up". The waterway would need to be "open for everybody", he said. No concessions on sanctions: Trump repeatedly ruled out granting Iran sanctions relief or paying any money after reports Tehran wanted the US to give it access to frozen assets.

Pressure on Arab countries: Trump suggested the US may only sign a peace deal if Arab countries normalise their relations with Israel by joining the Abraham Accords. Live updates from Iran war ➡️ Like us on
