President Donald Trump says the United States is talking to Iran about ways to end the war in the Middle East, even as he threatens more attacks and the Pentagon dispatches more troops to the region.
Iran publicly dismissed Trump’s proposal, insisting on state media that the fighting would end only on Tehran’s terms. Privately, Iranian officials have nevertheless signalled that they are open to negotiations.
