Trump: U.S. no longer in talks with Iran as tensions rise

U.S. President Donald Trump said Washington was not negotiating with Iran and warned that “something will happen” in the near future. He made the remarks to reporters after returning from a campaign trip. In the same event, Trump also said the conflict with Iran would end soon, but that the U.S. wanted to make sure the outcome would last. He repeated his claim that the U.S. had defeated Iran militarily and financially, and stressed that Teheran would never have nuclear weapons. The comments came as peace efforts between the U.S. and Iran were described as stalled, adding to uncertainty over the conflict's direction in the near term.
