Washington in holding direct consultations with Tehran and would prefer to settle the issue of Iran’s nuclear developments through talks, US President Donald Trump said.

"We're having direct talks with Iran, and they've started. It'll go on Saturday. We have a very big meeting, and we'll see what can happen," he told reporters during a meeting with visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, adding that a meeting at the nearly highest level will be held on Saturday.

"And I think everybody agrees that doing a deal would be preferable to doing the obvious," he said, not specifying however what he means saying "the obvious." Earlier, he did not rule out the potential use of force against Iran.

"And the obvious is not something that I want to be involved with, or frankly, that Israel wants to be involved with if they can avoid it," he said. "So we're going to see if we can avoid it, but it's getting to be very dangerous territory, and hopefully those talks will be successful. And I think it would be in Iran's best interests if they are successful, we hope, we hope that's going to happen."

According to the US leader, no country is acting as a mediator between the United States and Iran.
