LONDON: US President Donald Trump said he was prepared to talk to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani but that there was always a chance of US military action against the Islamic Republic. 'So Iran is a place that was extremely hostile when I first came into office,' Trump told British television station ITV. 'They were a terrorist nation number one in the world at that time and probably maybe are today.' When asked if he thought he would need to take military action, he said: 'There's always a chance. Do I want to? No. I'd rather not. But there's always a chance.' He said when asked, that he was prepared to talk to Rouhani: 'Yeah of course. I would much rather talk.'
