The statement by US President Donald Trump that the United States is ready to give Iran two weeks to conclude a deal was made in order to deceive Tehran's vigilance, the Washington Post newspaper writes, citing a senior source in the US administration.
Trump said on Friday that two weeks is the maximum time he is ready to give Iran to reach a deal on the country's nuclear program. At the same time, as Reuters reported, Israel did not want to wait two weeks before concluding a deal, as they stated to Washington in a "tense" telephone conversation.
"Trump's statement about the possibility of waiting two weeks, "was our attempt to catch the Iranians off guard," the material says.
At the same time, the interlocutor of the publication noted that there was "some truth in the words of the American leader." So, according to him, Trump made it clear that he reserves the right to cancel the plan at any time until the planes enter Iran's airspace.
On the night of June 22, the United States attacked three Iranian nuclear facilities in Natanz, Fordo and Isfahan. The attack, according to Washington, was designed to destroy or seriously weaken Iran's nuclear program.
