U.S. sent Iran a message via mediators as Trump says deal is possible: Iranian official


Iran has received a message from the United States through mediators as a potential precursor to talks between the two warring countries, a senior Iranian Foreign Ministry official told CBS News on Monday, after President Trump suggested a deal is possible. The president told reporters Monday that Iran had "agreed they will not have a nuclear weapon," which was one of the war aims that he laid out at the start of the conflict, along with degrading Iran's conventional military. The U.S. and Israel began striking Iran jointly in late February, but the two allies have occasionally disagreed on how extensively to target the country, with Mr. Trump saying last week that he disapproved of Israeli strikes on a major Iranian natural gas field.
