Trump says Iran agreeing to all US demands

WASHINGTON, June 24 /TASS/. US President Donald Trump said Iran is agreeing to all of Washington's demands.

"Iran is being very nice. They're agreeing to everything that I want, and they have to, otherwise we just go back and do what we have to do," Trump told reporters at the US Capitol.

The president visited Capitol Hill for a meeting with Republican Senate leaders, focused primarily on preparations for the upcoming midterm elections in November.

"I see that oil just broke the $70 [a barrel] number. Who would have thought that was going to happen? And that's during a war," Trump added.

The US and Israel launched a war against Iran on February 28. Earlier this month, Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding providing for an immediate cessation of hostilities on all fronts, including in Lebanon. On June 21-22, US-Iran talks on implementing the memorandum took place at the Swiss resort of Burgenstock, with mediation from Doha and Islamabad.

According to a joint statement issued by Pakistan and Qatar after the first round of negotiations, the meeting between Iranian and US representatives took place in a positive and constructive atmosphere. The parties made encouraging progress, including laying the groundwork for further technical consultations.
