WASHINGTON, May ‌6 (Reuters) - U.S. ​President ​Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Iran wants to ‌negotiate and make a deal, adding ⁠that the U.S. was doing very well ‌in Iran and that ‌it was going very smoothly.

"We're doing very well in Iran. It's ​going very smoothly, and we'll see what happens. They want to ⁠make a deal, they want to negotiate," Trump said ​at an event at the White House.

"We're dealing with people ​that want to make ‌a deal very much, and we'll see whether or ⁠not they can make a deal that's satisfactory to us."

Iran said it was ⁠reviewing a new U.S. proposal on Wednesday, ​after sources said Washington and Tehran were closing in on a one-page memorandum to end ‌the war in the Gulf while leaving tricky issues ‌such as Iran's nuclear program for later.
