ALBAWABA - As the war between Iran and Israel restarts, U.S. President Donald Trump maintains that this would not affect his own talks with Iran.

Trump, with a facade of ‘nothing is wrong’, is confident that the current escalation will not affect the talks his government is having with Iran; “It’s not going to have any impact on the deal,” he pointed out. 

“I think the deal is going on, we’ll see what happens.” However, when asked what he would do if the talks fall through ‘on their own merits,’ he said he’s considering a “commando raid” on Iran.

When asked to clarify, he stated: “It means [one of] two things; number one, it would mean that possibly we would go in and take care of the rest of the place that we didn’t take care of militarily. Or it would just mean that we would keep the blockade on Iran because the blockade has been probably more powerful than any attack that was ever made on that country,” he told the Financial Times.

Despite boasting confidence that talks will not be affected, Trump told Iran and Israel to stop "shooting," as the two-month ceasefire between the countries broke with the recent rocket barrages to and from Iran and Israel.
