"If they are not successful, we will return to powerful military action."Trump said that he paused US strikes on Iran to give negotiations another chance, N12 reported, with the president adding that he would not give the talks with Tehran "much time.""Either it will move forward quickly, or it will not happen at all," said Trump.Trump added that those involved in the talks told him not to "shoot," leading to his decision to hold off on the renewal of major strikes.“There’s nothing to gain and nothing to lose,” he added, noting that oil prices had fallen and stock prices had risen since his decision to hold off on major strikes.This is a developing story.Follow us on Google
