Trump says Iranians getting 'very serious' in talks

Trump says Iranians getting 'very serious' in talks US President Donald Trump said on Friday that he had not decided on whether to launch major strikes on Iran as Tehran was now getting "very serious" in talks with Washington. "No, I haven't," Trump told journalists in the Oval Office when asked if he had made a decision, following reports that he was meeting advisors to discuss a large-scale operation. "Look, we're talking to them right now. I think they're getting more and more serious as the days go by, for maybe the obvious reason."
