Trump Hopeful of Iran Deal After Tehran Warns of Regional War

US President Donald Trump expressed optimism about reaching a deal with Iran following Tehran's warning of potential regional conflict. The statement comes amid heightened tensions between the two nations, with Trump having previously threatened military action and dispatched an aircraft carrier group to the Middle East.

The Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei compared recent protests in Iran to a 'coup' and warned that any US attack would lead to a broader war. Meanwhile, the US has warned against the execution of a detained protester, Erfan Soltani, while Tehran claims he was never sentenced to death.

The situation remains volatile as both sides continue to navigate diplomatic efforts and threats. Iran has shown willingness for talks but insists on fair terms, while the US has maintained its stance on nuclear issues.
