01 · THE DISPATCH

President Donald Trump this morning stated that Iran called the US and 'very much aspires to reach a compromise agreement,' according to reports. The remark, reported at 08:45 Jerusalem, is the latest in a series of statements this morning from Trump on Iran's diplomatic posture. At 06:50, The Zioneer reported Trump saying Iran had called him 'a little while ago' and 'desperately' wants a deal, while expressing doubt about their trustworthiness. At 08:42, Trump added that the US struck Iran with overwhelming force overnight and that Iran called afterward seeking a deal. This latest statement appears to further emphasize Iran's desire for a diplomatic off-ramp, though Trump has consistently questioned whether Iran can be trusted to honor an agreement. The remarks come amid the ongoing US air campaign against Iranian targets.
