US President Donald Trump says he believes Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has approved the agreement that Washington says is being finalised with Tehran.
Asked in the Oval Office whether Khamenei had signed off on the deal, Trump replied: “I understand the answer is yes.”
There has so far been no official response from Iranian authorities to Trump’s comments.
Trump also said that once an agreement is finalised, the US would immediately lift its blockade on Iranian ports.
“And you’ll have oil prices dropping like a rock,” he told reporters.
