This is what U.S. President Donald Trump claimed at a White House press conference, where he also said there was a deadline for an Iranian response, without saying when it would expire.

Earlier on Friday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that the country is "ready for dialogue" but that there are no concrete plans for talks with the United States.

At a press conference in Istanbul, he set conditions for "fair and equitable negotiations," but at the same time warned:

The Islamic Republic of Iran is ready for negotiations, but also for war.

This week, Trump announced that a "massive war fleet" was heading towards Iran, and urged the country to come to the negotiating table or face attacks. Iran responded that it was ready to "respond like never before."
