President Donald Trump’s administration will speak with Iran’s leadership later Monday after the two sides found “major points of agreement,” the president says.
Trump made the comments while speaking to reporters before boarding Air Force One on Monday. He did not name the Iranian officials engaged in talks, but said he had not spoken with Mojtaba Khamenei, who was formally installed as Iran’s supreme leader earlier this month.
“We’re gonna get together today,” Trump said, saying the meeting will be by phone. He predicted that the war could end in the next 5-day period if the exchange “goes well.”
He said either Iran will agree to a deal or “otherwise we’ll just keep bombing our little hearts out.”
Trump first announced talks with Iran earlier Monday morning, only to be met with a denial from Iranian state media.
Trump dismissed that denial while speaking to reporters, saying some Iranian officials are in confusion thanks to the destabilization of the nation’s communication infrastructure.
