U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday that Iran wants to reach a deal, but stressed that Washington will not agree to any arrangement allowing Tehran to obtain a nuclear weapon.

"I can tell you that we've been called by the other side. They'd like to make a deal. Very badly, very badly," Trump told reporters outside the Oval Office, on Monday, without identifying which officials had called.

Trump said that talks had hit a ⁠roadblock ⁠related to nuclear issues and that a "blockade" of ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz had begun.

"Iran will not ⁠have ‌a ‌nuclear weapon," Trump ⁠told ‌reporters at the White ​House. "We can't let ⁠a country ⁠blackmail or extort the ⁠world."
