WASHINGTON, July 21. /TASS/. Iran is eager to hold a new meeting with the United States, US President Donald Trump said.
"They want to desperately meet, and until they’re ready to meet in a meaningful way, we have no interest," the US leader said.
Trump reacted sharply to a reporter’s remark that there are no signs of Iran's willingness to stop fighting.
"How would you know if there are no signs? You know something that I don't know?" he said. "You don't know what the dialog is behind the scenes that they want to meet desperately to try and end it because they're getting decimated."
