President Trump reportedly said that withdrawing from the region (likely referring to the area of US operations against Iran) would give Iran 20 years to rebuild, that the only way to negotiate with Iran is through military force, and that an agreement reached two days ago was violated at the last moment. The remarks were reported by the Arabic-language analysis channel Abu Saleh Desk and have not been independently confirmed.
The Zioneer has previously covered a series of Trump statements on Iran, including his 60-day deadline for a nuclear deal, his assessment that Iran retains only 22% of its missile stockpile, and his proposal to demand 20% of regional revenue or resume strikes. The new statement, if accurate, reflects a continued emphasis on coercive diplomacy and a hardening tone toward Iran as negotiations continue.
