Trump also claimed he was “100% confident” that Iran would eventually stop enriching uranium and hand over its enriched material to the US.

US President Donald Trump on Monday said there was “no need to rush" negotiations with Iran despite growing uncertainty around the fragile ceasefire between Washington and Tehran, which he earlier warned was on “life support" after rejecting Iran’s latest proposal.

“It’s a question of time, we don’t have to rush anything," Trump said during an interview on New York’s TalkRadio 77 WABC.

“We wiped out their navy, their air force… We have a blockade which allows them no money. It’s a very simple thing: we cannot let them have a nuclear weapon — because they’d use it," he added.

Trump also claimed he was “100% confident" that Iran would eventually stop enriching uranium and hand over its enriched material to the United States.

His remarks come after he sharply criticised Tehran’s latest counter-proposal to a US-backed peace framework, calling the response “garbage" and “totally unacceptable".
