President Donald Trump has weighed in on the escalating conflict between Iran and Israel, stating that the recent destruction in Iranian cities could have been avoided if Iran had agreed to a nuclear deal during his tenure.
In an interview with Fox News, Trump told reporters that he is no longer ‘in the mood to negotiate with Iran.’

These comments come as Israel continues its never-ending attack on Iran. The attacks mainly target top officials and nuclear sites but civilians have been caught up in the mix.
“Their cities have been blown to pieces, blown to pieces. I told them to do the deal. They should have done the deal,” Trump told Fox News.
According to him, he had initially offered Iran a deal which they declined. Earlier this week, Trump alleged that Iranian officials are now calling him for a deal.

“So I don’t know, I’m not too much in the mood to negotiate. They’ve lost a lot of people. I told them do the deal. I’m not too much in the mood to negotiate,” he concluded.
