Speaking with reporters in the Oval Office, President Trump elaborated on his position on Iran, underscoring grave stakes to the nuclear crisis. “We’re down to final moments. We’re at final moments. We can’t let them have a nuclear weapon,” Trump stated. “It’s an interesting time in the history of the world, but we have a situation with Iran that something’s going to happen very soon, very, very soon.”
“Hopefully we can have a peace deal. I’m not speaking out of strength or weakness; I’m just saying I’d rather see a peace deal than the other. But the other will solve the problem,” seemingly referring to strikes on Iran’s nuclear program.
