Iran does not want to be bombed. Trump

US President Donald Trump has announced that the United States and Iran are close to reaching an agreement on the Iranian nuclear program.

"We have a chance to make a deal with Iran. They don't want to get bombed; they would instead make a deal. I think it could happen in the not-so-distant future, and it would be great if we could make a deal without bombing the entire Middle East.

We want them to be safe; we want them to have a prosperous country, but they can't have nuclear weapons. It's as simple as that. I think we're pretty close to making a deal with Iran," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
