Donald Trump on Sunday told CNN in a phone interview that it is “highly unlikely” that the US will strike Iran again if the ongoing peace talks progress.

Reports said that Iran has said that talks on the proposal can begin only if the US fulfils seven conditions as part of a peace deal. “It depends on whether or not they sign a very strong agreement,” the 81-year-old said.

You don’t know how hard I hit them,” he said.
