Trump responds to Iran's Khamenei, expressing hope to make deal

US President Donald Trump has reportedly responded to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, after the latter warned a US strike on Iran would spark a regional war. While claiming the US has the biggest, most powerful ships in the world over there, Trump on Sunday local time expressed hope to make a deal and in case of no-deal, and he also threated to find out whether or not Khamenei was right over the remarks, NBC News reported.

Trump claimed that "of course he would say that…But we have the biggest, most powerful ships in the world over there, very close, couple of days, and hopefully we'll make a deal." "We don't make a deal, then we'll find out whether or not he was right," he continued.

According to the Iran's Press TV, Khamenei has warned that any war initiated by the US against Iran would turn into a regional war, when addressing a large gathering at the Imam Khomeini Hussainiya on Saturday.
