President Donald Trump said the US would hold a meeting with Iran next week, but cast doubt on the need for a diplomatic agreement following the American bombing of its three main nuclear sites.
“We're going to talk to them next week with Iran, we may sign an agreement. I don't know, to me, I don't think it's necessary,” Trump said Wednesday during a press conference during the NATO summit at The Hague.

Trump reiterated that the US bombing of Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow nuclear facilites “obliterated” them, again disputing an American intelligence assessment that said the strikes only set back Tehran's nuclear program by a matter of months. And he said the bombings effectively meant the conflict was “over.”
“I dealt with both and they're both tired, exhausted. They fought very, very hard and very viciously, very violently, and they were both satisfied to go home and get out. And can it start again? I guess someday it can. It could maybe start soon,” he said.
The US and Iran held five rounds of talks in recent months, seeking diplomatic solution to concerns over Iran's nuclear program — effectively a replacement for the 2015 nuclear deal that Trump abandoned during his first term. An agreement hadn't been reached, though a sixth round had been scheduled before the Israeli attack on June 13.
