Trump signs stringent ban on Iran

Washington: 

US President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order imposing sanctions on Iran. He said that with these restrictions, Iran's top leaders and other officials will not be able to take advantage of any banking facilities in the US region. Iran had said that on Thursday, a US drone has been killed in the area, some days after Trump has taken steps to impose a new ban. President Trump had withdrawn the order of counter-attack on Friday. In a brief conversation with reporters in his Oval office, Trump said that we do not want to struggle with Iran or any country.

No pre-conditions for dialogue with Iran: Trump 

He said that I can tell you that we will never allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons at any time. Trump said that the executive order he has signed will impose strict sanctions on Iran and prevent Iran's top leaders and other officials from availing the banking facility. He signed the order in the presence of Finance Minister Steven Manchin. Trump said that I think we have shown great restraint, but that does not mean that we will also be showcasing in the future. They said that we will continue to increase pressure on Tehran. When asked if these restrictions have been imposed in response to the American attack on the American drone, the President said that you could possibly include it but it was going to happen. I know many Iranian people living in New York. They are fantastic people.

If Iran abandons the will of nuclear weapons then I will be his best friend: Trump

Significantly, US President Donald Trump said Sunday that there is no precondition for negotiations with Iran, except that it will not allow him to acquire nuclear weapons. After coming to power, Trump had removed the US from Iran's nuclear deal and banned Tehran, which prohibits countries like India from buying oil from Iran. In NBC's Meet the Press, when Trump was questioned whether there is any pre-condition for negotiation with Iran, he had said that as far as I am concerned, there is no pre-condition. Chuck Todd asked Trump, Will you talk about somewhere?  

If Iran abandons the will of nuclear weapons then I will be his best friend: Trump

Trump said that see, you (Iran) can not have nuclear weapons. If you (Iran) want to talk about it, then it is good. Otherwise, you can stay in a weak economy in the coming days. Trump had said that the US was on the verge of attacking Iran in response to a supposed unmanned drone in West Asia. But they withdrew their permission half an hour ago.
