Trump says willing to reach a deal with Iran
Iran - Sunday, US President Trump said he hopes to reach a deal with Iran. Just hours earlier, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei warned that if the US President carried out threats of military intervention, it could trigger "a regional war".
Trump told reporters in Florida, "I hope we can reach a deal." In response to Khamenei's remarks, he said, "If we cannot reach a deal, we will see whether the Supreme Leader's statements are correct."
The US president, who has been sending ambiguous signals to Iran for days, also tried to continue pressuring Tehran: "We have deployed the largest and most powerful ships in the world there." Is Trump really extending a peace olive branch?
In fact, Washington has deployed a fleet of ten heavily armed warships, including an aircraft carrier, to the Persian Gulf. At the same time, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran is conducting live-fire exercises in the Strait of Hormuz, which are expected to last until Monday. The US Middle East Command warned that "any dangerous actions near US forces" should not occur.
