[Financial News] President Trump reiterated that he wants to reach a deal with Iran.
On the 5th local time, President Trump said, "I want to make a deal with Iran because I don't want to kill people." He also suggested that a strike on Iran could be possible depending on the situation, while repeating his claim that the United States had prepared what would have been the largest attack since World War II before calling it off.
President Trump did not comment in detail on the ongoing talks between Iran and Oman regarding the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Earlier, Iran claimed that it had "reached an agreement with Oman to ensure safe passage for merchant ships through the Strait of Hormuz" and that "a joint statement between the two countries is in its final stages."
