Iran war live: US Apache helicopter goes down near Hormuz as Trump issues update

Donald Trump is optimistic of a deal with Iran saying there is a “good chance”.

The US President thinks an agreement could be made in “two or three days” but he didn’t provide any details on why there was reason for new optimism.

“We’re very close to having a very, very good, strong, powerful deal,” Trump said. “If we go and bomb — which we could do very easily if we want, and we spend another two or three weeks bombing — they’ll have nothing left whatsoever. But you won’t have the strait open for months.”
