Trump says he favors a nuclear deal with Iran but won’t hesitate to take military action if talks collapse, insisting he won’t be dragged into war by Israel — but might enter one by choice.

US President Donald Trump on Sunday expressed optimism that a deal could be reached between the US and Iran on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program. "On the Iran situation, I think we're doing very well. I think a deal is going to be made there. That's going to happen. Pretty soon it's going to happen,” Trump told reporters.

U.S. President Donald Trump this week said he is open to meeting Iran's supreme leader or president and that he thinks the two countries will strike a new deal on Tehran's disputed nuclear programme.
