US President Donald Trump said Sunday that the recent Iranian missile attack on Israel was unhelpful to ongoing talks while expressing optimism that a deal is within reach.

Axar.az informs that, speaking to Fox News Chief Foreign Correspondent Trey Yingst, Trump said the attack would complicate diplomatic efforts.

"It's certainly not going to help negotiations," he said.

"We're very close. I would say an agreement would be signed on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday of this coming week. And now this takes place," Trump added before suggesting to Iran, "You've shot your missiles, that's enough. Get back to the table and make a deal."

Trump also criticized Israel's strikes on Beirut on Sunday, saying he was "not happy about it."
