- President Trump denies pressure to make a deal with Iran, insists progress is strong
- Trump claims his Iran deal will surpass the 2015 nuclear agreement under Obama
- He rejects claims Israel influenced his decision to attack Iran
As the Iran conflict drags on, President Donald Trump has lashed out at his Iran war critics, insisting he's under 'no pressure' to make a deal with Tehran as the future of Islamabad talks remains in limbo. In a series of posts on his Truth Social platform, Trump insisted that his eventual deal with Iran will be "FAR BETTER" than the 2015 nuclear deal signed under former President Barack Obama.
He also insisted the US was winning the Iran war "BY A LOT" and things are going very well.
"I read the Fake News saying that I am under "pressure" to make a Deal. THIS IS NOT TRUE! I am under no pressure whatsoever, although, it will all happen, relatively quickly,' Trump wrote.
"Time is not my adversary, the only thing that matters is that we finally, after 47 years, straighten out the MESS that other Presidents let happen because they didn't have the Courage or Foresight to do what had to be done with respect to Iran," he added.
Trump also insisted that Israel did not persuade him to attack Iran after news reports that Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu influenced the US president's decision and criticism from right-wing commentators.

He also said "the results in Iran will be amazing" in the post, which came although Iran was undecided. "And if Iran's new leaders (Regime Change!) are smart, Iran can have a great and prosperous future!" Trump wrote.
