US President Donald Trump Refuses to Rule Out Military Strikes Against Iran, Declares He Will Personally Decide When the Conflict Ends; Claims Tehran Is Deliberately Delaying a Deal
WASHINGTON: United States President Donald Trump explicitly has not ruled out military action against Iran, saying he will “make the decision” himself when “any and all conflict” will be “ended.”
President Trump told reporters that he has “no reason to rule out” military action against Iran in the future, particularly after the midterm elections, which he said may be a “summary of events” but “all of that is possible.”
The key points of what US President Donald Trump has said about Iran.
Delaying negotiations: President Trump said that Iran says it wants a deal but is “deliberately dragging” the talks and stalling them. He said Iran could be waiting for the American political cycle and that they will not benefit from it.
Trump says United States has a “very strong position” against Iran today and will determine when the conflict ends. He claimed Washington has seriously damaged Tehran’s military strength and crippled its economy.
Hesitation About Next Steps: The US administration is still watching closely regional developments while diplomatic and military buildup goes on, with all options still kept open.
