President Donald Trump said Friday that his director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, was “wrong” when she previously said that the U.S. believed Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon, and he suggested that it would be “very hard to stop” Israel's strikes on Iran in order to negotiate a possible ceasefire.

Iran is ready to consider diplomacy if Israel's attacks stop, the Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said after a meeting with the E3 and the EU in Geneva Friday, according a statement posted on Iranian state media. In the meantime, Iran will continue to exercise its legitimate right to self-defense, Araghchi said.
