Contradicting Iran's top diplomat, Trump again says Tehran wants to talk

US President Donald Trump reiterated on Friday that Tehran wants to meet following US strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites last weekend, but gave no further details.

Trump, speaking to reporters at the White House, also said that he would want the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) or another trusted entity to have full rights to conduct inspections in Iran. 

On Thursday, Iran's foreign minister said there were no plans to resume talks with the US, which were upended by Israel's air strikes.
