"It’s good for the country, good for them, good for us and good for the world. No preconditions. If they want to meet, I’ll meet,” said the US president.
Trump’s stance towards Tehran runs counter to his recent threatsagainst the nation as well as pulling Washington out of the Iran nuclear deal despite having the support of almost all US allies.

US press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders repeats her boss’s threats against Iran as the administration is still busy handling repercussions of the Helsinki fiasco.
"I do believe that they will probably end up wanting to meet,” he claimed. "And I’m ready to meet any time they want to. And I don’t do that from strength or from weakness. I think it’s an appropriate thing to do.”
Tehran has not yet responded to the latest comments by the US president but Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi suggested earlier in the day  that engaging in negotiations with the "current  America" is next to impossible.
According to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, Trump "should learn well that peace with Iran is the mother of all peace and war with Iran is the mother of all wars.”He further asserted that a military confrontation between Iran and the United States is out of the question, but that Iran is ready for such scenario.
Known for his anti-Iran sentiments from the campaign days, Trump ultimately pulled the US out of the Iran nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, in May.
