Trump on Iran during today's press conference:
President Donald Trump on Monday said that he would be willing to meet with Iran "any time they want to." The president's remarks came during a joint press conference with Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte.
"They want to meet, I'll meet. Any time they want," Trump said.
This "no conditions" approach was discussed at length by conservatives when Trump took the same approach with North Korea, with most noting the HYPOCRISY because of the response to Obama's comments on Castro and North Korea and Iran, I believe.
The hypocrisy is discussed at length here:

Among the many interesting explanations for why conservatives supposedly hate the "no conditions" approach:
"Shapiro told me that by Trump agreeing to meet with Kim, North Korea had already achieved a victory. “Kim is looking for legitimacy; Trump just gave it to him as a presumed co-equal on the world stage.” He added, “If Trump is the greatest dealmaker ever, then I’m sure everything will be fantastic! But I have some pretty serious doubts, obviously.”
"Other conservatives are concerned it just won’t work, arguing that North Korea has a long history of entering into negotiations that come “tantalizingly close” to an arms agreement before backing away."
