U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday that Iran is negotiating with the United States.
“The plan is that (Iran is) in talks with us, and we’ll see whether anything can be achieved. Otherwise, we’ll see what happens,” Trump told a Fox News correspondent.
He said that “the last time they negotiated, we had to remove their nuclear capability. It didn’t work, you know. Then we did it a different way, and we’ll see what happens.”
“We have a large fleet moving there, larger than what we had and still have, actually in Venezuela,” Trump said.

Trump also said the United States could not share military plans with Gulf allies while negotiations with Iran were under way.
“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, responding to reports that Gulf allies remain uninformed about potential U.S. intervention plans involving Iran.
