Washington DC: As the situation has become more tense between the United States and Iran after Iranian forces carried out a drone attack on US-flagged vessels, President Donald Trump on Monday claimed that his country is in a strong position, stressing that the actions conducted by the American military have weakened the Middle East country. His statement has come ahead of the peace talks between both the countries in Pakistan. Trump stated that the US is ‘winning’ the war and Iran’s military capabilities have been reduced significantly.
What Did Donald Trump Say?
The US President took to Truth Social and wrote, “I’m winning a War, BY A LOT, things are going very well, our Military has been amazing and, if you read the Fake News, like The Failing New York Times, the absolutely horrendous and disgusting Wall Street Journal, or the now almost defunct, fortunately, Washington Post, you would actually think we are losing the War. The enemy is confused, because they get these same Media “reports,” and yet they realize their Navy has been completely wiped out, their Air Force has gone onto darker runways, they have no Anti Missile or Anti Airplane Equipment, their former leaders are mostly gone (This has been, in addition to everything else, Regime Change!), and perhaps, most important of all, THE BLOCKADE, which we will not take off until there is a “DEAL,” is absolutely destroying Iran.”
“They are losing $500 Million Dollars a day, an unsustainable number, even in the short run. The Anti-America Fake News Media is rooting for Iran to win, but it’s not going to happen, because I’m in charge! Just like these unpatriotic people used every ounce of their limited strength to fight me in the Election, they continue to do so with Iran. The result will be the same — It already is!” the post read.
US-Iran Peace Talks
It is to be noted that the US President’s remark came ahead of a second round of talks following a 21-hour marathon discussion earlier this month that ended without agreement, with diplomatic efforts now entering a critical phase amid warnings of possible escalation if negotiations fail.
A high-level American negotiating team, including Vice President JD Vance, Jared Kushner, and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, is en route to Pakistan to initiate critical negotiations with the Iranian leadership.
Ceasefire To End On Wednesday
As the two-week temporary ceasefire is going to end on Wednesday, all eyes are on the peace talks in Islamabad as it will decide the fate of the war. While Washington reiterated that a “fair and reasonable” deal is on the table, the Iranian side refuses to talk under the “shadow of a blockade.”
