The Trump administration is willing to sit down with Iran's leadership, even as it deploys hundreds more troops to the region
According to reports that quoted Iranian state media, Rouhani, the country’s president, said Saturday: “We are for logic and talks if sits respectfully at the negotiating table and follows international regulations, not if it issues an order to negotiate.”
“It's not very likely because talking is the continuation of the process of pressure,” he said. “He's imposing pressure. This may work in a real estate market. It does not work in dealing with Iran.” Even as he’s said he wants to talk to the Iranians, Trump approved a decision last month to speed up the deployment of an aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf, in response to alleged Iranian threats against U.S. troops and facilities in the region.
