Trump says he's 'low-keying it' on Iran: 'It will work out'

President Trump said in a new interview he is 'low-keying it' when it comes to the war with Iran as it nears its sixth month. "We are only semi-negotiating with them." "Iran with its huge inflation and the fact they have no money" Trump said Tehran's economy "is in very bad shape" and that the country cannot compensate its forces. "It will work out. It always works out. It's like a chess game." Per AAA, "the average price of a gallon of regular gas in the U.S. was about $4.00 on Monday morning," versus "about $3.14 at this time last year." The war is "straining U.S. relations with historic allies," "raising the price of oil and gas amid the closure of the Strait of Hormuz," and "polling recently as unpopular among Americans." On Saturday, Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, "presented on Saturday his country's key demands for the U.S. amid talks to reopen the strait"; Iran and Oman "have been taking part in discussions regarding the waterway"; Zolghadr, "in a message shared on state media," pressed the U.S. to "end its naval blockade in the strait, lift sanctions on Tehran and pay war reparations," and demanded "that the U.S. military withdraw from Iran and halt attacks on Tehran's allies."
