Washington, June 5: U.S. President Donald Trump stated that negotiations between the United States and Iran are still ongoing. Whether through diplomacy or military action, he asserted that victory will ultimately belong to America. Trump made it clear that the primary condition for any agreement is that Iran must never be allowed to develop nuclear weapons.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump emphasized that his administration’s main goal is to prevent the proliferation of nuclear arms.
When asked about the ongoing talks with Iran, Trump said, “Let’s see what happens. We will win one way or another. We will either win through a paper agreement or through military strength. Either way, victory will be ours.”
He reiterated that the most critical issue in the negotiations remains unchanged.
“The most important part of any agreement is that they must not have nuclear weapons. After that, the Strait of Hormuz will open immediately,” Trump stated.
He claimed that nearly the entire world agrees on the necessity of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
“You cannot allow Iran to have nuclear weapons. Almost everyone agrees on this,” he added.
Trump compared the potential new agreement to the nuclear deal made during former President Barack Obama’s administration.
“Obama chose the wrong country. I terminated that agreement because it paved the way for Iran to obtain nuclear weapons. The talks are going well now, but no one knows what will happen next. Under any agreement, Iran will never be able to develop nuclear weapons,” he said.
When asked if the U.S. would respond militarily if Iran harmed American soldiers, he replied, “If they kill American soldiers, I think I would act very quickly.”
Trump indicated that there might still be a possibility for diplomatic talks with Iran’s new supreme leader.
“I don’t want to meet, but if it happens, I would feel honored. I would like to see if we can reach an agreement,” he said.
Regarding regional security, Trump noted that the U.S. has sought support from European allies for the safe passage of ships in the Strait of Hormuz, but added that the U.S. could act independently if necessary.
“We don’t need their help. We have the most powerful military in the world,” he stated.
Trump’s comments come at a time when diplomatic efforts are underway for a long-term agreement concerning Iran’s nuclear program and regional security. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most vital energy routes, through which a significant portion of global oil supply passes.
