WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Monday accused Iran of repeatedly lying and said he's gotten less interested in negotiations to replace the nuclear deal that he pulled the United States out of last year.
Trump said Iran also lied about losing a drone that he earlier announced had been destroyed by a U.S. warship near the entrance to the Persian Gulf. Trump said Iran has"disrespected" the United States, and he called it a"very mixed up country" with big economic problems and a restive population. "If they want to make a deal, frankly it's getting harder for me to want to make a deal with Iran because they've behaved very badly. They're saying bad things."
Tensions escalated on Friday when Iran seized a British-flagged oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. On Monday, British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt accused Iran of"an act of state piracy" that he said must be met with a coordinated international reaction.
