Trump says US having 'good talks' with Iran US President Donald Trump said that Washington was having "good talks" with Iran and there was a chance of a peace deal between the two countries. "We're having good talks," he said. "I think there's a good chance that something could happen, and if it does, good, if it doesn't, we go back to doing what we were doing two days ago." Later during a campaign rally in Michigan, Trump said regarding Iran: "You can't bribe them.
You've got to beat them, and we'll beat the hell out of them. Right now, there are very friendly negotiations going on." The statements come after the US abruptly halted its two-week wave of attacks across Iran over the weekend. Despite Trump's remarks, tensions remained high across the region.
Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Iraq reported drone attacks on Monday, suggesting that hostilities had not completely subsided despite the pause in the US bombing campaign. Washington halted its two-week air campaign against Iran on Saturday in a surprise policy shift by Trump after nearly five months of conflict. Iran said it had not abandoned diplomacy but denied reports that it had sought talks with Washington.
