US President Donald Trump made another statement to ease tensions, announcing that they have postponed any military attacks on Iran's energy facilities and energy infrastructure for a period of 5 days. Trump emphasized that they want to reach an agreement with Iran and that he does not wish for Mojtaba Khamenei to die.
In statements to the press in Florida, U.S. President Donald Trump said, "We also want to make a deal with Iran. We have a very good chance of making a deal. Khamenei has been killed. You know there is a situation regarding his son that is obvious. I do not want Mojtaba Khamenei to die."
Highlights from Trump's speech;
"I think Israel would be very happy with a peace agreement. We talked recently. We want peace for Israel as well. My life is built on deals. I believe this will happen in a while. They were expecting us to bomb their largest power plant tomorrow morning. I did not call them; they called us and said they wanted to make a deal with us. They are ready to make a deal on not producing nuclear weapons. If we make a deal with them, we will go there and take the enriched uranium ourselves."
"IF THEY DIDN'T DO THIS WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS..."
I want as much oil as possible to circulate in the system. I think the situation here is very different from Ukraine because when you look at nuclear weapons, you can see a lot of differences. We are talking about a country that has behaved malignantly for 47 years. They cause deaths all over the world. They wanted to dominate the entire Middle East. It would have been much easier for them to do this with nuclear weapons.
"IF WE HADN'T DESTROYED THEIR FACILITIES..."
Joe Kent had said that Iran is not a major threat. That is not true. We hit them, and we hit them very well, but that does not mean they will not try to produce weapons again. If we had not destroyed their nuclear facilities with B-2 bombers, they would have had nuclear weapons two weeks later. They would have used this in Israel and throughout the Middle East.
"WE DESTROYED A LOT OF THEIR RESOURCES"
We destroyed a lot of their resources. We destroyed their navy, air force, and radars. We also destroyed their communication centers, so it was very difficult for them to communicate with us. Khamenei has been killed. You know there is a situation regarding his son that is obvious. I do not want Mojtaba Khamenei to die. They will not have nuclear weapons; that is our first rule. In fact, that is also our second and third rule. We want to see a very serious regime change here. Everyone in the regime has been killed. A regime change will naturally be necessary. I think this is fair. Look at Venezuela; what we did worked beautifully. We have a very good relationship with the current President of Venezuela. Maybe we can find someone like that in Iran."
"WE HAVE A VERY BIG CHANCE"
We have a very big chance of making a deal. I am not making a claim because then you will turn to me and say, 'You said this.' If I were to make a guess, I would say four weeks."
