US President Donald Trump says that Iran is “not in a good negotiating position”, while denying that the conflict is a “war”.
“What’s a war? A war is fighting … When was the last time you saw us fighting with them?” he tells Fox News. “We go months and months; we talk. They’re not in a good negotiating position; their economy is cratering … they have 301 per cent inflation; they don’t have money.”
He adds that the war could go on if no agreement is made, but stresses that Iran wants “to make a deal really badly” and that there is a “very good chance” of a deal being struck.
“We’re dealing from total strength,“ Trump says.
