Skip next section Trump claims that Iranians are getting 'very serious' in discussions with US Taking questions from journalists in the Oval Office, US President Donald Trump claimed that Iran is getting "very serious" in its discussions with the US.
Trump was asked about reports that the US could soon launch a large-scale attack on Iran, the biggest of the war so far. "No, I haven't," Trump replied when asked by journalists if he had decided to launch the operation.
"Look, we're talking to them right now. I think they're getting more and more serious as the days go by," Trump said. Iranian officials have not commented on whether talks are underway with the US. A ceasefire deal between the US and Iran fell apart on July 8.
Trump has repeatedly claimed Iran has been close to agreeing terms with the US since the start of the war in late February.
