US President Donald Trump said on Sunday he was “hopeful” Iran would “make a deal” with Washington, warning that if talks failed it would become clear whether Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was right in saying a conflict would turn into a “regional war.”
Speaking to reporters at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, Trump said he preferred a diplomatic outcome but was prepared to use the military assets the United States has deployed in the region if a deal is not reached.
