Iran says "ball is in the U.S. court" on any deal to end the war

Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson said Monday that the next move in the standoff with the United States is for President Trump to make. "The ball is in the U.S. court, because our demands have been stated very clearly and transparently, and Iran's demands are reasonable and logical," Esmaeil Baqaei told journalists in Tehran.
