US President Donald Trump has said that the issue of Iran can be easily resolved, and things can return to what they were a while ago. Iran said it was determined to press ahead with its long-range missile program.

"I think the Iran issue can be solved very quickly and very easily, and it can in fact become something special, as it was in a specific period of time," Trump said.

"There was a period of time when it was very good (for relations with Iran) but for a long time it was very weak, it could be repaired very quickly, but there are people who don't want to do it for some reason; they don't want to do it, they don't understand it."
