President Donald Trump has dismissed concerns that the U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement is dead after the two sides launched strikes on each other. The president insisted that talks with Iran are ongoing and that if he were to abandon the agreement, there would be "one big glow coming out of Iran." This comes as the White House awaits Iran's response to a U.N. proposal to end the war, which began on February 28 when the U.,S. and Israel launched airstrikes on Iran.
