President Donald Trump said Friday that the United States is talking with Iran and that Tehran is growing more serious as each day passes. Speaking at a White House event, he said Iran wants an agreement but is not yet ready to make one, and that he has not decided whether to order a broader strike. Trump presented continued or intensified military action as the alternative to negotiations. He said Washington would keep increasing pressure if Iran even considered obtaining a nuclear weapon, while describing an agreement as the smarter course.
