US President Donald Trump said on Saturday (local time) that Iran was engaged in talks with the United States, even as the Islamic Republic’s army chief warned Washington against carrying out military strikes, according to AFP.
Iran’s top security official said on Saturday that headway had been made toward talks with the United States, even as the Islamic Republic’s army chief warned Washington against any military action, as reported by AFP.
Trump also acknowledged that the two sides were in contact, while continuing to keep the possibility of an attack on the table, AFP reported.
“They are negotiating,” says Trump.
“(Iran is) talking to us, and we’ll see if we can do something, otherwise we’ll see what happens…We have a big fleet heading out there,” he told Fox News.
“They are negotiating,” Trump said.
Trump said the United States was withholding details of any potential strike plans from its regional allies for security reasons.
He also warned of possible intervention in Iran following a lethal crackdown on anti-government protests, as reported by AFP.
“Well, we can’t tell them the plan. If I told them the plan, it would be almost as bad as telling you the plan — it could be worse, actually,” he said.
