US President Donald Trump said that the United States was now «slowly but surely» getting close to a very good deal with Iran, but if it didn’t happen, the US would return to military action. «If you’re going to be in a hurry, you are not going to make a good deal. And slowly but surely, we’re getting, I think, what we want. And if we do not get what we want, we are going to end it a different way,» the US leader said in an interview with his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, on Fox News. On February 28, the United States and Israel began striking targets in Iran, killing more than 3,000 people. Washington and Tehran announced a ceasefire on April 8. Subsequent talks in Islamabad ended inconclusively, with no reports of renewed hostilities. However, the United States began a blockade of Iranian ports.
