President Trump, speaking to reporters in the Oval Office during an event with UFC fighters, said the U.S. has had “very good talks over the past 24 hours” about Iran.

It’s not clear if the president meant the U.S. and Iran were talking directly or through Pakistan. The president claimed, as he has before, that Iran wants to “make a deal badly.”

“They want to make a deal,” he said. “We’ve had very good talks over the last 24 hours. And it’s very possible that we’ll make a deal.”

Mr. Trump acknowledged that they’ve “had some good talks before, as you know, and all of the sudden, the next day like, they’re like, they forgot what happened.”

The president also said if the U.S. left Iran right now, it would take them 20 years to rebuild.
