HOPES of an historic Iran nuclear deal rose today as the terror state’s president backed urgent negotiations with the US. President Masoud Pezeshkian ordered talks as Donald Trump’s US warship

Iran’s president says he has instructed the country’s foreign minister to “pursue fair and equitable negotiations” with the United States.

Trump been ratcheting up threats against Iran over the past several weeks, urging a nuclear deal and increasing U.S military presence in the region.

Trump said that if Iran does not make a deal regarding its nuclear program, "we'll find out” whether Iran’s supreme leader was correct to predict that a U.S. attack on the country would spark a regional war.

Trump said the fleet was larger than the one he sent to Venezuela, referring to his naval blockade of the South American country to prevent sanctioned oil tankers from leaving.

U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran on Wednesday it should "make a deal" with the U.S. on its nuclear program or face a large-scale U.S. military attack.

The United States appeared poised for a major military confrontation with Iran after Donald Trump ordered a powerful naval force into the region in response to the killing of thousands of Iranian protesters.

US President Donald Trump vowed to use force if Tehran ignored his demands and announced an “armada” heading toward Iran.

Suggesting Iran could suffer the same fate as Venezuela, Trump warns Tehran to negotiate a new nuclear agreement, or face "major destruction."

Iran signals readiness to suspend its nuclear program ahead of planned US-Iran talks in Istanbul and transfer its uranium to Russia, according to The New York Times.
