White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has asserted that the current administration is on the verge of securing a historic diplomatic breakthrough with Tehran.
Speaking to Fox News, Leavitt credited the progress to the unique approach adopted by the US President, contrasting it with previous diplomatic efforts.
The Press Secretary stated, 'The United States has never been closer to a good deal with Iran, unlike the horrible deal made by the Obama Administration, thanks to President Donald Trump's negotiating ability.'
The White House further dismissed domestic and international criticism regarding the administration's aggressive posturing and the use of economic leverage.
Leavitt defended the President's unconventional methodology as a calculated strategy designed for long-term regional stability.
US President Donald Trump has also asserted that the nuclear agreement currently being pursued with Tehran will be 'far better' than the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
