Fresh US hits on Iran, despite Trump saying a deal with Tehran 'possible'

Several areas in south western Iran’s city of Omidiyeh were hit by US projectiles, the semi-official news agency Mehr reported.

The fresh US salvo is the latest escalation in spite of remarks by US President Donald Trump suggesting that a deal with Tehran was still possible.

Earlier, Trump told reporters: "Yeah, I think a deal is possible. Sure, I do."

"We had a deal with them two days ago and then they said 'Oh we can't make that deal. We have to negotiate it further'," he added.
