President Donald Trump said Sunday he would “be talking” to Iranian leaders but did not say and noted much of the country’s leadership was dead, as U.S. and Israeli military strikes against Iran entered a second day.
"They want to talk, and I have agreed to talk, so I will be talking to them. They should have done it sooner," Trump was quoted as saying by The Atlantic, as U.S. and Israeli forces press a war against Iran for a second day.
Asked when such talks might take place, Trump said "I can't tell you."
Trump did not indicate with whom he hoped to speak.
Referring to the Iranian leadership which has been in years of on-and-off talks with U.S. and other Western governments, Trump said "most of those people are gone."
