While a large number of U.S. naval and air forces are gathering in the Middle East, Trump has just stated, “We are having good conversations with Iran, and we must reach a meaningful agreement with Iran. We will find an answer to the Iran issue within about 10 days. I no longer care about the Nobel Peace Prize.”
