The remarks come days after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that Iran was hiding its secret nuclear weapons program.

“This is a terrible deal. It should never have been concluded, and in a few days time, President Trump will decide, will make his decision on what to do with the nuclear deal," Netanyahu said.

“I’m sure he’ll do the right thing. The right thing for the United States, the right thing for Israel and the right thing for the peace of the world," he continued.

Trump, who has a May 12 deadline to decide whether to pull out of the accord, responded to Netanyahu's speech, saying the situation with Iran was not "acceptable."

"I'm not telling you what I'm doing, but a lot of people think they know,” Trump said of his decision on the Iran deal. "That doesn't mean I wouldn’t negotiate a new agreement. We’ll see what happens, but I think if anything, what’s happening today and what’s happened over the last little while and what we’ve learned has really shown that I’ve been 100 percent right.”
