#  Iran's Zarif to visit North Korea

 Written by Zoe Rutherford on 29 April 2019.

On Sunday April 28th Iran's state television reported that Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif is planning a visit to North Korea.

“The date of this trip will be set and announced soon,” the television quoted Zarif as saying, in a *Reuters* report. It gave no further details.

Zarif has said that he does not believe US President Donald Trump wants war with Iran, but he told *Reuters* on Wednesday that [Trump could be lured into a conflict](https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20190425-irans-zarif-believes-trump-does-not-want-war-but-could-be-lured-into-conflict/).

“I don’t think he wants war,” Zarif said in an interview at the Iranian mission to the United Nations in New York. “But that doesn’t exclude him being basically lured into one.”
