Nuclear Acordo is a priority, says president Trump
Donald Trump stated on Saturday that Irã has agreed to refrain from developing or acquiring nuclear weapons. Ele described this move as a significant concession in the ongoing negotiations. Contudo, the president warned that further military actions are still on the table if negotiations fail.
Trump stated on the program “My View with Lara Trump” that Teerã had already agreed not to develop a nuclear weapon. Ele reiterated, however, the importance of ensuring that Irã couldn’t just buy one either. “So now [the agreement] says, ‘We will not develop or purchase in any way a military weapon’. Essa is a big difference,” Trump said, indicating the negotiators’ firmness. The president emphasized that he was in no hurry, arguing that haste could prevent a good deal. Ele stated that a deal would be preferable as it would allow Estreito to immediately reopen Ormuz, causing gasoline prices to “plummet.” Tal agreement would also prevent further victims. If Irã does not meet the requirements, “we will resolve this in a different way,” he added. Trump mentioned that the US destroyed the Iranian navy and air force, accusing the media of downplaying American success in the region. Ele also expressed hesitation in completely eliminating what was left of Irã’s military, due to the time it would take the country to rebuild.
