US President Donald Trump has told Gulf leaders he urgently wants “to make a deal” with Iran to wind down its nuclear programme but that Tehran must end its support of proxy groups throughout the region as part of any potential agreement.
(Iran) “must stop sponsoring terror, halt its bloody proxy wars, and permanently and verifiably cease pursuit of nuclear weapons,” Mr Trump said in remarks at a meeting of leaders from the Gulf Co-operation Council hosted by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in the Saudi capital.
