In an apparent retreat on Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump said that Washington is ready to make a real deal with Iran.

“We’ll see what happens, but we’re ready to make a real deal (with Iran),” U.S. President Donald Trump said during a speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Kansas City, Missouri.

Meanwhile, Trump on Sunday sent a tweet to Iran President Hassan Rouhani, saying “NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE.”

But Iran on Monday dismissed Trump's angry warning that Tehran risked dire consequences.

BE CAUTIOUS!,” Mohammad Javad Zarif posted a message on his Twitter page on Monday, in reaction to US President Donald Trump's baseless allegations and threats against Iran.

Also Iranian president on Sunday, addressing a meeting attended by Iranian representatives in foreign countries, said that Americans should come to realize that establishing peace with Iran is the mother of all peace and waging war with the country is mother of all wars.

In May, Trump called the nuclear accord - or Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) as it is formally known - a "horrible, one-sided deal that should have never, ever been made" and withdraw from the deal.

Washington is now re-imposing the sanctions, despite objections from the UK, France, China, Russia and Germany, who all signed the 2015 agreement.

US initially planned to totally shut Iran out of global oil markets after Trump abandoned the deal, demanding all other countries to stop buying its crude by November.

But it has somewhat eased its stance since, saying that it may grant sanction waivers to some allies that are particularly reliant on Iranian supplies.
