President Donald Trump said Thursday evening that Iran is not ready for a deal and needs to 'get hit more,' and that it will never have a nuclear weapon, according to reports. He added that Iran still has 'malicious intentions' regarding its nuclear program. Trump has made several statements on Iran in recent weeks.
President Donald Trump issued a new statement Thursday evening on Iran, asserting that the US is 'doing great' with Iran but that Tehran is not ready for a deal and needs to 'get hit more.' He also said Iran still has 'malicious intentions' regarding its nuclear program and that it will never have a nuclear weapon. The statement was reported by Israeli media channels.
The Zioneer has reported on multiple Trump statements on Iran over the past month. On June 10, Trump said he believes Iranians want a deal but 'we will see.' On June 18, he issued a statement praising the emerging Iran deal, asserting that oil is flowing and Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon. On July 21, he said the US is 'not finished at all' with Iran. The latest statement appears to harden his tone, suggesting that further military or economic pressure may be needed before a deal is reached.
The precise context and timing of the statement remain unclear. No further details on the status of nuclear negotiations were provided.
