Trump says negotiations with Iran going well

US President Donald Trump said talks with Tehran seemed "to be working out quite well," reiterating his positive portrayal of the negotiations on the Iran war without elaborating on the specifics of the discussions.

"I hear they are doing very well," Trump said in an interview published on Wednesday on the 'FOX5 1-ON-1' show with FOX5 Las Vegas journalist Tom Durian.

Even as the Iran war has entered its sixth month and the two sides have so far failed to reach a permanent end to the conflict, Trump has repeatedly attempted to portray the talks positively.

Trump has said a deal on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for energy supplies that Iran blocked after the war began, is imminent.

"I am not looking to kill people and totally obliterate everything, and that's where we were headed. And they wanted to negotiate and we're doing that, and it seems to be working out quite well," Trump said in the interview.
