  • The situation with Iran is "in flux" because he sent a "big armada" to the region, but Trump thinks Tehran genuinely wants to cut a deal.
  • Sources with knowledge of the situation say Trump hasn't made a final decision. He will likely hold more consultations this week and be presented with additional military options.
  • At the same time, he said diplomacy remained an option. "They want to make a deal. I know so. They called on numerous occasions. They want to talk."
