WASHINGTON, April ‌13 (Reuters) - ​U.S. ​President Donald Trump said on Monday ‌that Iran wants to make ⁠a deal and that he ‌will not come ‌to any agreement that allows Tehran to have ​a nuclear weapon.

Trump said that talks had ⁠hit a roadblock related to nuclear ​issues and that a "blockade" of ships transiting the ​Strait of Hormuz ‌had begun.

He said that Iran had "called ⁠this morning" and that "they'd like to work a ⁠deal." Reuters could not immediately ​verify the claim.

"Iran will not have a nuclear weapon," Trump ‌told reporters at the White House. "We can't ‌let a country ⁠blackmail or ‌extort the ​world."
