Reuters: Exclusive: Iran's Zarif believes Trump does not want war, but could be lured into conflict

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif does not believe U.S. President Donald Trump wants war with Iran, but he told Reuters on Wednesday that Trump could be lured into a conflict.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Zarif’s remarks.
