US President Donald Trump has announced his intention to sign an updated nuclear agreement with Iran. The countries already had a corresponding agreement in 2015, but in 2018 Trump withdrew the United States from the treaty.
The American president wrote about this on the Truth Social network.

– Reports that the United States, together with Israel, is planning to destroy Iran are greatly exaggerated, – he wrote.
Trump expressed a desire to conclude a new agreement that would provide Iran with the opportunity for peaceful development without the threat of nuclear weapons.
He stressed that negotiations should begin as soon as possible.
– We must immediately work on a new agreement and organize a grand celebration in the Middle East after its signing, – he added he.
Memorandum on stopping oil exports from Iran
According to The Guardian, Trump's statement came after his talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
In parallel, Trump signed a memorandum that obliges the US Treasury and State Departments to take measures to stop Iranian oil exports.
In response, the Iranian Foreign Ministry is considering the possibility of talks with Trump.
However, there is strong opposition within the country to any interaction with the US, despite the negative impact of sanctions on economy.
