US President Donald Trump has said that Iran would be met with great force if it attempted anything against US interests in the Middle East.

Talking to reporters outside White House in Washington, he said, Iran's hostile behaviour towards the US is a big mistake and could prove to be dangerous for it.

Showing his willingness for dialogue, Trump asked Iranian leaders not to call for talks unless they were prepared to negotiate.

On the other hand, top officials from President Donald Trump’s administration will brief the US Senate and House of Representatives about Iran on Tuesday (May 21).   

According to congressional aides, the briefing has been arranged after lawmakers insisted for more information about tension between the two countries.

Meanwhile, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has said that he favors talks and diplomacy but not under current conditions.

Iranian state news agency IRNA quoted him saying that the current situation is not suitable for talks and his country is focusing on resistance only.
