Trump says he favors a nuclear deal with Iran but won’t hesitate to take military action if talks collapse, insisting he won’t be dragged into war by Israel — but might enter one by choice.

The president said he would be “leading the pack” against Iran if it did not agree to a nuclear deal, but he said he was open to meeting Iranian leaders.

U.S. President Donald Trump said he was open to meeting Iran's supreme leader or the country's president, when he was asked by Time magazine in an interview on April 22 whether he would meet with either as the countries began nuclear talks.
