US President Donald Trump intensified his rhetoric against Iran, declaring that Tehran will never obtain nuclear weapons and that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen soon — or else Iran faces a severe military strike. In an interview reported by Odaily, Trump said his administration was prepared to launch 'the largest attack since World War II' before Tehran called to request talks. He claimed that he agreed to negotiate, but warned that if Iran reneges again, it will be hit very hard. Trump also credited his own actions with forcing Iran to the negotiating table, saying that without his administration's pressure, Tehran would not be sitting down for talks. He acknowledged that Iran has already been hit very hard, but noted that the real blow has not yet come, while expressing hope it would not be necessary. The comments rest on the twin issues of Iran's nuclear program and the strategic oil shipping lane.
According to Odaily, US President Donald Trump said in an interview that Iran will never possess nuclear weapons. “They cannot have them now, but that will be formally established,” he said. He also said the Strait of Hormuz would reopen very soon, or Iran would face a severe strike — and the strait would open anyway.
Trump said: “We were prepared to launch a huge attack, the largest since World War II. They called me and very politely asked, ‘Can we talk? Can we talk?’ I said, ‘Sure, we can talk. Let's get this worked out. Ultimately, let's make a deal.’”
“If they back out again, they will be hit very hard, and they know that,” Trump added. He also said: “If it weren't for the actions we're taking, they wouldn't even sit down to negotiate. We have hit them very, very hard, but the real blow has not yet come. Hopefully we won't have to use it. I hope not.”
