President Trump says negotiations with Iran, likely conducted through intermediaries, are set to begin Monday, August 3, just days after he called off what he described as a massive planned attack on the country. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump laid out where things currently stand. He said talks with Iran are taking the form of a negotiation, set to begin Monday afternoon, and that he’d genuinely like to see it succeed. He framed the stakes in human terms, saying a deal would save a lot of lives and avoid what he called a lot of unnecessary death.
