US President Donald Trump on Wednesday said Washington had held “very good” talks with Iran over the past 24 hours regarding ending the war that has continued for more than two months.
Speaking at an event at the White House, Trump said Iran was eager to reach an agreement.
“They want to make a deal,” Trump told reporters, repeating his earlier claim that Iran wants “to make a deal badly.”

“We’ve had very good talks over the last 24 hours, and it’s very possible that we’ll make a deal,” he added.
Trump also reiterated that if the United States withdrew from Iran at this moment, the country would need 20 years to rebuild because of the extensive damage caused by the US-Israeli strikes launched on Feb. 28.
