Ammon News - U.S. President Donald Trump said in an interview on Tuesday that he thinks Iran wants to make a deal with the United States on its nuclear and ballistic missile programs, and it would be "foolish" if it did not.

U.S. officials have discussed seizing tankers carrying Iranian oil to pressure Tehran, but fear retaliation and the impact on global oil markets, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, according to Reuters.

U.S. and Iranian diplomats held talks through mediators in Oman last week in an effort to revive diplomacy, after Trump positioned a naval flotilla in the region, raising fears of new military action.
