President Donald Trump made surprising comments about Iran during a NATO summit in the Netherlands on Wednesday. He said his administration plans to resume talks with Iran next week, even after recent US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Trump also said he would not oppose Iran selling oil to China to help rebuild after the conflict.
The president’s remarks came just days after US forces targeted Iran’s nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan over the weekend. Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei confirmed that the country’s nuclear facilities had been “badly damaged” by the American strikes. However, there are conflicting reports about how much damage was actually done.
