'If we don't make a deal, then...': Trump reacts to Iranian leader Khamenei's US regional war claim

U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday (February 01) downplayed comments from Iran's Supreme Leader warning of a potential regional conflict, stating, "We have the biggest, most powerful ships in the world over there, very close... and hopefully we'll make a deal. If we don't make a deal, then we'll find out whether or not he was right." The remarks, made before Trump attended a wedding at his Mar-a-Lago estate came as top U.S. and Israeli military officials held a closed-door meeting at the Pentagon on Friday amid growing tensions with Tehran, two U.S. officials told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.
