Trump says US ‘getting close to maybe doing’ Iran deal, Tehran ‘sort of’ agreed to terms

US President Donald Trump said Thursday that a deal was close on Iran’s nuclear program, voicing optimism about the chances for avoiding a military strike on Tehran’s sites.

“We’re not going to be making any nuclear dust in Iran,” Trump said in Qatar, the second of three stops during his four-day tour of the Middle East. “I think we’re getting close to maybe doing a deal without having to do this.”
