DavoscTypeface:> Iran hopes that US President Donald Trump will agree to a new nuclear deal, Vice President for Strategic Affairs Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Wednesday at the World Economic Forum in the Swiss resort of Davos.
Responding to a question about why Iran assumes the United States could agree to a new deal, Zarif said: "I hope that this time around, a ‘Trump 2’ will be more serious, more focused, more realistic.” Trump unilaterally withdrew from the Vienna nuclear pact in 2018 during his first term and imposed harsh new sanctions on Tehran.
The dispute over Iran’s nuclear programme has intensified again in recent months. (DPA)
