President Donald Trump has reiterated his claim that the United States has a 'very good relationship' with Iran. This comment continues a pattern of optimistic public statements from the President regarding diplomatic relations, which stand in contrast to ongoing military tensions and a U.S. naval blockade. The remarks come amid a complex backdrop of negotiations and public warnings from Trump about the potential for resumed conflict if a deal is not reached.
