US President Donald Trump on Wednesday (US local time) termed the war with Iran as a "skirmish" and claimed that Tehran wants to "make a deal." He made the remarks in Marietta, Georgia, while speaking about his administration's Trump Accounts initiative. He also referred to the latest wave of US aerial attacks on Iran.

"This skirmish that we have with the Islamic Republic of Iran, and I call it that because let me tell you They're getting hit so hard, and they want to make a deal -- but I say they're not ready to make a deal because every time they make a deal they want to change it and everything. They're not ready. They'll be ready very soon," Trump said.
