Trump says there is no rush for Iran deal, US blockade stays

Trump says the US blockade on Iranian ships in the Strait of Hormuz will remain until a final agreement is signed, while negotiators continue to grapple with disputes over Tehran’s uranium stockpile, sanctions relief and regional security issues.

US President Donald Trump said on Sunday he had told his representatives not to rush into any deal with Iran, as his administration played down hopes of an imminent breakthrough in the three-month-old war that had been raised a day earlier.
