Al Jazeera reported US President Trump said the US holds a "very favorable" position on Iran both militarily and economically and described the standoff as "a small skirmish." Asked whether he had abandoned talks with Iran, Trump replied: "No, I don't think we're negotiating at the moment. In any case, there will be a result, and it will be clear soon."
