President Donald Trump said Tuesday evening that the United States is "disabling Iran from its missile capability" while trying to reach a "fair deal" with Tehran, according to a statement carried by Israeli media. The remark comes amid ongoing US air operations and diplomatic efforts to finalize a nuclear agreement with Iran.
President Donald Trump said Tuesday evening that the US is "disabling Iran from its missile capability" while seeking a "fair deal" — his latest public statement on the Iran crisis as the Trump administration pursues both military strikes and diplomatic channels with Tehran. The remark was reported by Israeli media channels.
The Zioneer reported earlier this month on Trump's shifting posture toward Iran, which has included threats of attack, calls for a deal, and assertions that Iran's leadership wants an agreement. Trump's statement Tuesday — using the present tense "we are disabling" — suggests ongoing US operations aimed at degrading Iran's missile infrastructure, though he did not provide specifics on the extent or location of such actions.
The statement follows a series of Trump administration pronouncements on Iran, including pledges to dismantle Iran's nuclear program and threats of devastating strikes if negotiations fail. A single source carries the remark, and no additional context or White House elaboration has been published as of Tuesday night.
