Trump: Iran Reached Out, Wants Nuclear Talks

President Donald Trump said on Monday that Iran has asked for negotiations on its nuclear program and that the United States may agree to meet. "They called yesterday," Trump told reporters. "I think they're tired of being beat up by the United States." The president did not specify who made the contact or through what channel. His statement comes amid severe economic pressure on Iran from U.S. sanctions. There was no immediate confirmation from Iranian officials. The country has previously said it will not talk while sanctions are in place. The 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers has been in crisis since the U.S. withdrew from it last year. The agreement limited Iran's nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief.
