Donald Trump says, "The negotiations with Iran are currently progressing well, but the main problem is that the Iranian side is not very trustworthy. They agree and then easily backtrack on their commitments!" He reiterated the need to destroy Iran's nuclear program and added, "Only one or two sites remain that we need to address." Previously, the U.S. Secretary of State stated that Donald Trump has not yet decided on a military strike against Iran. Iranian officials also warned on Saturday of severe retaliatory attacks in the event of any U.S. attack.
