WASHINGTON/ISLAMABAD/CAIRO – U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday he was not satisfied with the latest Iranian proposal for talks on the Iran war, while Iran's foreign minister said Tehran was ready for diplomacy if the United States changes its approach.

Trump's comments indicated the deadlock over the 2-month-old war is likely to persist, even as he looks to end a conflict that remains deeply unpopular among Americans.

Meanwhile, U.S. relations with its traditional ​allies were further strained over Iran on Friday, as the United States announced it was withdrawing 5,000 troops from Germany. Trump had threatened a drawdown over differences ‌with German Chancellor ‌Friedrich Merz, who said on Monday the Iranians were humiliating the United States and that the Americans lacked an exit strategy.
