WASHINGTON, July 31. /TASS/. A peace deal between the United States and Iran is still possible, despite the resumed hostilities, US President Donald Trump said.
When asked by journalists if he thinks he can reach a deal with Iran amid the ongoing hostilities and despite his own remarks on this matter, he answered in the affirmative.
However, said that he is "losing faith in them because they do lie, and they do misrepresent" ongoing behind-the-scenes contacts between Washington and Tehran. According to Trump, several days ago, Iran delivered a missile strike against US forces in Jordan "in the midst of a negotiation."
"Well, I think we just want to win. You know, we just want to win. We're doing very well," he said, again claiming that serious damage has been done to Iran’s defense capabilities.
