Iran has given no sign yet it is willing to talk. The two countries haven’t had diplomatic relations since shortly after Iran’s 1979 Islamic revolution.

WASHINGTON—Tensions between the U.S. and Iran appeared to ease on Friday after two weeks of crisis, as the White House tamped down talk of conflict and renewed a conditional offer to Tehran of diplomatic negotiations.

A senior administration official emphasized that President Trump is open to talks with Tehran’s leaders, but said the U.S. will continue to apply increasing economic and other pressures on Iran to cease its backing for militant groups in Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon and Syria.

Prayed for Iran that they will not fight.

Trump put Iran out of his reach by busting the deal the US worked so hard to obtain. They won't call. In fact nobody wants to call him. Working with Iran is easy, get Trump out, restore the deal, done.

Burning lips

When they removed the US installed Shah? Do you think they still have hard feelings?

Ya think tensions are easing? Let's see what happens if Mueller turns up to talk.

Since the revolution against the bloodthirsty shah your CIA installed in a coup after you murdered their peaceful democratically elected leader. They need a brutal leadership to protect them from the west’s attempts to steal their resources and kill their socialist leaders

Iran understands only the GeorgeBush rhetoric (phonecall with Ex President of Pakistan): compliance or stoneage. Forget all the dishonest phony men meetings & female phonecalls. Titans never met & speak with dwarfs without risking become a dwarf & losing respect, too

Just wait by Feinstein's iPhone for a call from Iran.

The art of the deal maker Ohhh brother

The 1979 Iranian revolution was NOT Islamic It was a revolution of millions of unarmed Iranian workers, students & farmers who together, massively, mobilized & faced off against the Shah's soldiers-who crumbled The Ayatollahs co-opted that revolution Not forever, I believe

if they wanted to talk, who would they talk to, is there a person in the administration that is not some combination of inept and corrupt who could be trusted to keep their word even if they were capable of putting together a coherent proposal?

wstrobel Just a larger diversion to cover the larger issue of the Mueller case.

BLESSED ARE THE PEACE MAKER ,for they will be called the children of the MOST HIGH YAHUAH .

AmateurHour rookies

They will be waiting a long time!

Trump never had a problem sending love letters to Putin or Kim Jung Un. Why doesn’t he send one to the leader of Iran?

Iran will never have time to talk. It will detract from their habit of chanting 'Death to America' and 'Death to Israel' in town squares throughout the country each day.

Iran is way better than North Korea, North Korea threaten to Nuke America and Trump called Kim Jong-Un his best friend.

US wants that every country should bow down and worship them as a GOD. But all the time, all countries are not alike and niether the puppet as US is to Israel. 😀

It's coming. Right after he gets that call from 'the hot married blonde.'

What if.... thegreatawakening

Wait i thought obozo got a nobel prize for his work (payments) to Iran, does that not countvas relations? Oh wait thats right it was pallets of money delivered late at night in secret..

Talk is not possible with a religious cult with nuclear weapons

Fun fact: if realDonaldTrump wanted to, he could blow Iran off the map. good thing he's a nice guy.

Senators demand answers from Trump administration on Iran threatSenators from both sides of the aisle demand that the Trump admin. explain why it had evacuated US diplomatic missions in Iraq and brief lawmakers on the alleged threats from Iran that prompted the move. Thank you. I'm interested in their answer, too. My guess is Putin and Bolton. One of the two. Trump can't do this without the approval of Congress. Trump walks all over Congress and they don't blink an eye. Congress is the one in charge not the President.

How the Trump administration got into a showdown with Iran that could lead to warThe Trump administration has rejected suggestions it's moving toward war after deploying military assets in response to unspecified threats. What type of intelligence do we have, that we can trust when it comes to knowing how much oil is in the ground in South American and Saudi Arabia. The program should be able to add the two and graphicaly represent it well !!! I'm told that there is a lot !!!! I fear that oil Peacepox Bolton's ego and arrogance will get a lot of people killed. TRUMP WOULD RISK THE NATIONAL SECURITY INTERESTS OF THE USA, LIVELIHOOD OF MILITARY MEN & WOMEN IN THAT REGION, & LIVELIHOOD OF MANY IRAQIS TO AVOID HIS BEING CORNERED FOR HIS CORRUPT ACTION RE UKRAINE! AVOID IMPEACHMENT AT ANY COST TO OTHERS!

Trump says he's not considering sending troops to Iran, but he 'absolutely' wouldTrump dismissed The New York Times' report that he's reviewing a plan to send hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops to Iran as 'fake news' So now we're at a point where the made up 'reports' must be right. And if Trump dares to not agree and then tells the truth then he is the bad man. Yeah he'd send a lot more than that he said he thinks you'll have a war to keep people from resisting him but it won't happen until kill a lot of people just like Nixon and Bush for nothing. You know Trump is lying because his lips are moving.
