On the 23rd, U.S. President Trump once again emphasized that he feels no pressure to end the conflict with Iran and is not in a hurry to reach a deal with Iran, stating that he wants to achieve the best and most permanent agreement.
He stated that time is on America’s side and he might be the one under the least psychological pressure. “I have the most abundant time in the world, but Iran does not.” The situation will only become increasingly unfavorable for Iran, as time is not on their side.
He said he could reach an agreement with Iran right now, but he wants the agreement to be permanent and ensure that Iran will never have a chance to possess nuclear weapons, so he doesn’t want to be too hasty. “We have plenty of time.”
He pointed out that the real pressure is on Iran because under the U.S. naval blockade, Iran cannot resume oil exports, and Iran’s entire oil infrastructure system will be on the verge of collapse.
He threatened that the U.S. has already struck about 75% of Iran’s targets, severely weakening its military strength. If Iran doesn’t want to reach an agreement, he will use military means to finish the rest.
When asked by the media whether he would consider using nuclear weapons against Iran, Trump replied no, and claimed that even without a nuclear strike, the U.S. could already completely destroy Iran.
