Trump Says Iran Called to Make a Deal After U.S. Strikes

“President Donald Trump said Wednesday evening that he does not know whether Washington and Iran are returning to a full-fledged war, but told reporters that Iran ‘badly’ wants to make a deal to cease escalating hostilities in the Middle East,” CNBC reports.

Said Trump: “I say we hit them 20 to 1 – every time they hit us, we’re going to hit them 20, and we did it last night. They did a little something today, but it was really retribution for last night … when they hit, we hit back much harder.”

He added: “They have very little left, and they want to make a deal so badly. They called a little while ago. They want to make a deal so badly. I just don’t know if they’re worthy of making a deal. I don’t know that they’re going to honor the deal. That’s the problem.”
