Iran: If Trump wants to talk, he'll have to call
TEHRAN, Iran -- Iran said Monday that if President Donald Trump wants to negotiate after pulling the United States out of the international deal meant to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons, he'll have to initiate the call.
The remarks by Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi came after Trump last week said that with the US increasing sanctions on Iran, "at a certain point they're going to call me and say 'let's make a deal,' and we'll make a deal."
Ghasemi said, however, "maybe someday he will call Tehran and ask for negotiations -- this is more likely."
If Trump calls, it's not clear whether anyone will answer, with Iran's top leadership rejecting talks with the US.
