Trump Threatens Iran with Destruction if No Deal Reached
US President Donald Trump issued a stark ultimatum to Iran, stating that the US is in full control of the situation and that Tehran must either agree to a deal or face destruction. Speaking to the press before departing for China, Trump claimed that Iran's military capabilities, including its navy, air force, and radar systems, have been largely eliminated. He asserted that the US would win either peacefully through an agreement or by other means, emphasizing that Iran cannot possess nuclear weapons. Trump also addressed regional dynamics, praising Pakistan's mediation efforts and dismissing the need for Chinese interference in the Iran issue, though he planned to discuss it with President Xi Jinping. Additionally, he confirmed that weapons intended for Iranian protesters remained with Kurdish groups, contradicting US military officials. Beyond the Middle East, Trump expressed optimism about the Russia-Ukraine war nearing its end and criticized NATO for lacking support, stating the alliance is no longer needed for US interests regarding Iran.
