Holly,
>> good evening. Jerica, we have more American casualties in a war that's now a month old. 10 American service members were injured yesterday by an Iranian strike on a base in Saudi Arabia, according to US officials. Two of them very seriously.
>> They are negotiating.
They're begging to make a deal.
President Trump repeated his claim last night that Iran's leaders are eager to negotiate an end to the war,
but Iran has said it's rejected an American ceasefire plan and won't negotiate,

>> Jerica, Germany's foreign minister said that he expects representatives from Iran and the US to meet for face-to-face talks in Pakistan in the very near future.
