Iran has said it is ready to defend itself for “as long as it takes” against the US after Donald Trump insisted he was not ready to agree a deal to end the Middle East conflict.
The US president claimed Tehran was keen to negotiate a ceasefire, but that the terms “aren’t good enough yet”. Mr Trump boasted that his military could bomb targets on Iran’s Kharg Island once more “just for fun” after US warplanes “obliterated” military installations on the key oil island on Friday.
