Washington remains in talks with Iran and hopes to reach an agreement, US President Donald Trump said. "I'd rather make a deal because I don't want to kill people, I do not want to kill people," he said, referring to a possible agreement with Tehran. But they respect us," Trump added during a speech in a Las Vegas suburb in Nevada, referring to the Iranian authorities. The United States and Israel launched a war against Iran on February 28. However, on the night of July 8, the United States resumed large-scale strikes on Iran, accusing Tehran of violating agreements on the Strait of Hormuz.
