Majid Asgaripour/WANA via ReutersPresident Donald Trump said Sunday on Truth Social that he has told his representatives not to rush into a deal with Iran and that “time is on our side.”“The Blockade will remain in full force and effect until an agreement is reached, certified, and signed,” Trump said in the post. “Both sides must take their time and get it right. There can be no mistakes! Our relationship with Iran is becoming a much more professional and productive one. They must understand, however, that they cannot develop or procure a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb.”
