Iran says US has 'more realistic' stance on nuclear issue as it begins Hormuz Strait drills

Iran's foreign ministry said on Monday that it believed the US position on Tehran's nuclear weapons pile had become "more realistic" ahead of talks between the two countries in Geneva. The talks come as Iran's Revolutionary Guards begin military drills in the Straight of Hormuz and US President Donald Trump sent a second aircraft carrier to the Middle East to ratchet up military pressure.
