16:03Now PlayingDonald Trump is planning to send around 3,000 troops to the Middle East in an attempt to ramp up pressure on Iran.
Andrew Marr spoke to renowned journalist Christiane Amanpour and former government minister Alan Duncan on what this latest escalation means.
Speaking at the White House on Tuesday evening, the President said "They've agreed they'll never have a nuclear weapon."
He also said that Iran was "talking sense" to the US, and added: "The other side, I can tell you, they'd like to make a deal.
"Who wouldn't if you were them? Their navy's gone, their airforce is gone, their communications, all of their anti-aircraft, their missiles.
"Can you name a single thing that's not gone? Or one thing that's doing well?"
But the suggestions of the early stages of a potential peace deal comes after it was revealed on Tuesday that the President is planning to send around 3,000 troops to the Middle East.
Formal orders to send the soldiers, who are reportedly from the US army's 82nd airborne unit, is expected to be released later on Tuesday evening.
On Monday, the President told Iran it had "one more chance at peace" amid conflicting reports the two nations had undergone preliminary discussions for a ceasefire.
But according to reports in the US, Trump is set to give the go-ahead to send 3,000 airborne soldiers to the Middle East, although the precise location is so far unknown.
