WASHINGTON: Donald Trump has said Iran is now engaged in talks and does not want the United States to launch an attack against it.
The US president made the remarks while addressing the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, calling the event a long-standing American tradition and saying he was pleased to attend it again.
Speaking about Iran, Trump said a large US naval fleet was moving towards the country. He added that Tehran had entered negotiations because it did not want to face a military strike.
The comments follow Trump’s statement a day earlier in which he said the United States was holding talks with Iran and hoped they would be successful. He also claimed that Washington had previously carried out an operation, which he referred to as “Midnight Hammer”, against Iran.
