Trump Expects More Iran Talks This Week Despite Rejected Proposal (Updated)

Updates

  • On October 8, President Donald Trump said the United States would not attack Iran before the November 3 midterm elections, in a statement published by the White House.

Original report

U.S. President Donald Trump said Sunday he expects more talks with Iran this week, a day after rejecting Tehran's proposal to end the conflict. He said Iran wants a deal, but its current offer is not one he would accept, although it might have been acceptable a year earlier. Asked whether he would resume strikes against Iran, Trump said he is always considering the option. Regional sources cited in the report said another round of indirect U.S.-Iran discussions could take place Monday; no agreement or confirmed meeting was announced.
