Trump: US Ready to Make ‘Real Deal’ with IranTEHRAN (Defapress) –“Iran is not the same country anymore, that I can say,” Trump claimed on Tuesday at the Veterans of Foreign Wars National Convention in Kansas City, Mo., The New York Post reported.

“But we’re ready to make a real deal, not the deal that was done by the previous administration, which was a disaster.”

Trump withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal in May, and Washington plans to reimpose sanctions on Tehran next m

onth. The first round of US sanctions on Iran goes into effect in August, followed by ones targeting Iran's oil exports in November.

The softer tone follows a weekend war of words between Tehran and Washington.

​Trump on Sunday responded to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s ​comments that hostile behavior from the US would result in the “mother of all wars” by vowing in a tweet that “You will suffer consequences the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered.”
