JAKARTA - President Donald Trump told reporters on Monday that the United States was having "good talks" with Iran "right now."
Speaking on Air Force One en route to Michigan, President Trump said he has "plenty of time" to deal with Iran.
"I have a lot of patience. We'll see what happens. I think there is a good chance that something could happen," he said, launching Al Arabiya (28/7).
Furthermore, President Trump also said he would ask Russia about providing satellite imagery to help Iran.
"I'll ask Putin about it," President Trump said.
"We will find out," he continued.
"Otherwise, we will go back to doing what we did two days ago," he said.
Iran and the United States have halted fire for three consecutive days after 13 nights of renewed US attacks, offering a narrow window for diplomacy after the collapse of a previous ceasefire agreement aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
President Trump said Iranian leaders had asked for a meeting and argued "the only reason they want to meet is because we've hit them so hard."
However, Tehran has previously denied that direct negotiations are underway, saying that the mediators are only conveying messages from Washington.
President Trump also dismissed concerns that five months of war had depleted US ammunition supplies.
"We have a lot of ammunition," he said.
"We also have a lot of medium-range ammunition, more than we can use, whatever happens," President Putin said.
He added that he preferred a larger reserve but complained "so much was given to Ukraine" in its war with Russia.
