US President Donald Trump has made it clear that Washington will not walk away from the ongoing Iran conflict prematurely, even as negotiations remain stalled and global tensions continue to simmer.
Addressing an event in Florida, he said the US was determined to see the situation through, adding, 'We're going to get this thing done properly. We're not going to leave early and then have the problem arise in three more years.'
Trump further went on to say that the US currently has the upper hand, stating, 'Americans are just winning', and 'If it were a fight, they'd stop it.'
At the same time, the President pointed to the lack of progress on a peace deal with Tehran, saying, 'They're not coming through with the kind of deal that we have to have.'
Trump's statement came as earlier while speaking to reporters, he underlined that negotiations with Iran are not progressing as the US would like.
It remains unclear whether Trump's remarks were in direct response to a fresh proposal sent by Iran via Pakistan, which includes discussions on conditions for reopening the strategically crucial Strait of Hormuz.
