Trump threatens Iran: a last chance to reach an agreement or face escalation
Fady Mahouly
US President Donald Trump said that the Iranians are seeking to reach an agreement.
He pointed out that this agreement should have been achieved four weeks ago.
Trump added that he did not know whether the United States would be able to conclude a deal with Iran, but he stressed that ending the nuclear agreement prevented Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon years ago.
Trump continued that the Iranians were planning to control the Middle East, but American strikes, including B-2 bomber attacks, prevented these plans from being achieved, adding that if the United States had not intervened, Iran would have obtained a nuclear weapon within two weeks to a month.
Trump pointed out that the United States destroyed 154 Iranian ships in less than a week, and that the military operations resulted in the elimination of the first and second ranks of the Iranian regime’s leadership, which led to American superiority over the objectives of the military operation.
He stressed that the Iranians are facing a disaster, and that the Iranian leadership does not acknowledge defeat, but it has an opportunity to reach an agreement, warning that delaying might make the United States “their worst nightmare.”
He stressed that his country will continue to attack Iran without stopping, and that its aircraft and military fleet are equipped with the best equipment in the world to ensure superiority.
Trump concluded by saying that there is an opportunity for Iran to abandon its nuclear program, otherwise the American strikes will continue until strategic goals are achieved, including opening the Strait of Hormuz and securing the interests of the United States and its allies in the region.
