US President Donald Trump said that the United States (US) would be “probably satisfied” if it could reach an agreement with Iran that prevents Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, the Guardian reported on Monday.

Trump further stated that he delayed planned strikes on Iran after a “very positive development” in talks and that there was “a very good chance” they could reach a deal.

“I was asked by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE and some others if we could put it off for 2 or 3 days, a short period of time, because they think that they are getting very close to making a deal. And if we can do that where there’s no nuclear weapon going into the hands of Iran, I think and if they’re satisfied, we will be probably satisfied,” said Trump.
