Trump doesn’t think Iran deal needed after facilities ‘blown up to kingdom come’

US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that his administration plans to resume talks with Iran next week, but he doesn’t care if a nuclear agreement is signed because Iran’s facilities have been “blown up to kingdom come”.

“We are going to talk to them next week, with Iran. We may sign an agreement. I don’t know…I don’t care if I have an agreement or not,” he said.

“The only thing we would be asking for is what we were asking for before…we want no nuclear, but we destroyed the nuclear… it’s blown up to kingdom come. I don’t care very strongly about it. If we got a document, it wouldn’t be bad.”

Trump’s comments during a Nato summit in the Netherlands come amid conflicting reports about the damage US strikes did to Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities over the weekend.
