The US State Department announced its desire for a diplomatic settlement with Iran.

The United States remains committed to a diplomatic solution to the situation with Iran. This was announced on June 17 by US State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce.

"He [US President Donald Trump] wants only one thing — peace. His activities, the actions of the United States, and his special envoys are focused on one thing: negotiations, the search for diplomatic solutions," she said during a briefing.

According to her, Trump has always been focused on solving problems peacefully, and this position of the American leader has not changed.
