US President Donald Trump has said talks with Iran are “rapidly evolving” and “we’re not going to have a nuclear weapon and lots of other good things are going to happen”, New York Post quotes him as saying in an exclusive interview.

“I say we did a little excursion down to the beautiful country of Iran, or as they say the Islamic Republic of Iran,” he remarked.

He said he was in no rush over the Strait of Hormuz crisis, saying it was possible the US naval blockade would remain in place through Labour Day — Sept 7.

““I don’t know. I mean, I think it could be [closed through Labor Day], but I think it’s unlikely. I think that we’ll have it. I think this will resolve itself fairly quickly,” he was quoted as saying.
