Iran should surrender to end a war with the US.
Under that memorandum of understanding, Iran and the US committed to negotiating a final deal – covering broader issues such as the fate of Iran’s nuclear programme – in a maximum of 60 days, extendable by mutual consent. Monday marks 60 days since the MOU was signed.
Washington: US President Trump said Monday that Iran should surrender to end a war with the US as talks between the countries remained stalled. “They should put up the white flag of surrender,” Trump told a Fox News reporter during a phone interview. An interim deal agreed to in June declared an “immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts”, but quickly unraveled, with Trump saying it was “over” on July 7 and Iran’s foreign ministry declaring it “suspended” a week later. Trump told Fox News that the midterms were not impacting his strategy on Iran. “Midterms have nothing to do with my thinking,” he said.
The dispute over control of the Strait of Hormuz has driven up fuel prices and put pressure on Trump to end a war that is unpopular at home ahead of the Nov midterm elections that will decide control of the US Congress.
