Trump says Iran negotiating to avoid US strikes at Prayer Breakfast: Video
US President Donald Trump said on Thursday, February 5, that Iran had entered negotiations with Washington because it wanted to avoid potential US military action, making the remarks during his address at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, DC.
Speaking at the annual gathering, Trump suggested that Tehran was motivated by concern over possible strikes. “Ask Iran. They’re negotiating. Now, they don’t want to. They don’t want us to hit them. You know, we have a big fleet going over to Iran,” he said.
His comments came as tensions between the two countries remained high, with talks scheduled to take place in Oman on Friday, according to officials familiar with the diplomatic process.
