Trump claims significant progress in talks with Iran, expects phone call today

President Trump told Al Jazeera that the U.S. has held significant talks with Iran with main points of agreement reached. Trump said senior Iranian officials want to make a deal, and the two sides will likely speak by phone today. He stated the Iranians initiated contact, not the U.S. Trump expressed hope to resolve issues with Iran and said he doesn't want Mojtaba Khamenei to die, adding he doesn't know if Khamenei is alive. Trump predicted Israel would welcome a deal with Iran, calling it a potential guarantee of long-term peace for Israel and a good start for the entire region.
