US President Donald Trump said Iran wants to talk about deescalating the deadly conflict with Israel but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signaled strikes will continue.

Asked about reports that Iran wants to work toward a resolution, Trump responded “yeah,” and added, “they’d like to talk, but they should have done that before.”

“It’s painful for both parties but I would say that Iran is not winning this war,” Trump said at the start of a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at a Group of Seven leaders summit in Kananaskis, Alberta.

Israeli officials have said their forces have taken control over much of the airspace over Iran and severely damaged key facilities used in its missile and nuclear programs since the assault was launched Friday, sparking fears of widening conflict in the Mideast.
