What US President Donald Trump said on discussions with Iran for the US-Iran war end?
“If we make a deal that now we’re friendly, we’ll all go together. It’ll be our equipment. We’ll take it out and destroy it, whether it’s on-site or whether we take it off-site,” Trump said.
The US President noted he was “very close” to signing the deal, but is pushing Tehran to go further and commit to completely abandon their nuclear ambitions.
“Now, if we don’t make a deal, then we’re going to take them out militarily very harshly. And we’ll wait till we do that before we go, in which case we’ll have safety either way,” he said.
