Trump told Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman James Inhofe (R-Okla.) Tuesday night that he is now ready to negotiate with Iran and indicated he does not plan further military strikes against the Islamic republic.

“I had occasion to talk to the president last night at nine o’clock. He has very good feelings about this, that no Americans at that time — now it’s been confirmed — no Americans were killed,” Inhofe said.

“He believes very strongly that that opens the door for negotiations,” he said of the president.
