As U.S. forces continue to surge into the Middle East, President Donald Trump said Iran is signaling interest in negotiations with Washington, even as tensions between the two countries remain high.
According to Fox News, in an interview published Monday by Axios, Trump said Tehran has made repeated efforts to open lines of communication, suggesting Iranian leaders are eager to strike some kind of agreement.
“They want to make a deal. I know so. They called on numerous occasions. They want to talk,” Trump told the outlet.
Despite that outreach, U.S. officials cautioned that any agreement would come with sweeping demands.
According to those officials, Iran would be required to remove all enriched uranium, sharply limit its long-range missile arsenal, alter its support for regional proxy forces, and end independent uranium enrichment altogether.
Iranian leaders, the officials noted, have not agreed to those conditions.
