Trump Reveals Iran is Engaging in Talks, US Remains Alert to the Situation in the Persian Gulf
(AFP, Washington, 31st) President of the United States Donald Trump said today that Iran is "talking" with the United States. Earlier, Iranian military leaders had warned the U.S. not to launch a military attack on Iran.
Trump said in an interview with Fox News: "They are talking with us, we will see if we can do something, otherwise we will see what happens... We have a large fleet there."
Trump said: "They are negotiating."
Trump added that, for security reasons, the U.S. did not inform the regional allies about the possible plan for an attack.
He said: "We cannot tell them the details of the plan. If I told them, it would be almost as bad as telling you, and maybe even worse."
Previously, he had threatened to intervene after the Iranian authorities suppressed anti-government protests, causing significant casualties.
The U.S. has deployed a naval strike group led by the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier off the coast of Iran, which has drawn global attention.
