In an interview with Fox News, Trump said, "Iran is talking to us, and we will see if we can do something, otherwise, we will see what will happen... We have a big fleet heading that way. They are negotiating."

Trump also added that no possible attack plans had been discussed with US allies in the region for security reasons. He threatened intervention in Iran after the deadly crackdown on anti-government protests.

"We can't tell them the plan. If I told them the plan, it would be as bad as telling you the plan, in fact, it could have been worse," he said.

After Trump's threat to intervene in response to the deadly crackdown on protests, Washington deployed a naval strike group led by the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier off the coast of Iran.

In later statements on Saturday, Trump refrained from saying whether he had made a decision about what to do regarding Iran.

Speaking to reporters while flying to Florida, Trump avoided answering whether Tehran would become emboldened if the US decided not to launch any attack, saying, "Some people think that. Some people don't think that."

Trump said that a "satisfactory" deal must be negotiated to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons but added, "I'm not sure they'll do it. But they are talking to us. They are seriously talking to us."
