“I like the two-state solution,” Trump said to reporters alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “That’s what I think works best. I don’t even have to speak to anybody; that’s my feeling.”

“As most of the Iranian elites have stated, negotiations with the U.S. is not acceptable in the current period of time given the hostile and disrespectful policies of the U.S. administration against the Islamic Republic of Iran,” said Eshaq Jahangiri.
