“As I have repeatedly shown, I am willing to end conflicts from the past and forge new partnerships for a better and more stable world, even if our differences can be in -depth,” Trump said. “If Iran’s leadership rejects this olive branch … we will have no choice but to bring massive maximum pressure, the Iranian oil export stimulates to zero.”

“Iran can have a much better future, but we will never allow them to threaten America and our allies with terrorism or a nuclear attack,” Trump said.

The nuclear conversations were “difficult but useful,” said spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Esmail Baghaei.
