U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated the claim that Iran is in negotiations with the U.S., stating, "They are in negotiations and they really want to reach an agreement. But they are afraid to say it. Because they are afraid of being killed by their own people. They are also afraid of being killed by us."
U.S. President Donald Trump made statements regarding the war against Iran during a fundraising event organized by the National Republican Congressional Committee.
Trump, stating that they have clearly won against Iran, evaluated, "What we did to Iran in the Middle East has never been seen before."
"THEY ARE AFRAID TO SAY THIS"
Reiterating the claim that Iran is negotiating with the U.S., Trump said, "They are in negotiations and they really want to reach an agreement. But they are afraid to say it. Because they are afraid of being killed by their own people. They are also afraid of being killed by us."
"THEY WANT ME TO BE IRAN'S SUPREME LEADER"
Trump suggested that some factions want to make him Iran's supreme leader, saying, "I don't want it. Look at what they are saying. We hear very clearly; 'We want to make you the next supreme leader.' No, thank you. I don't want it."
"THEY DON'T LIKE THE WORD WAR"
Claiming that the U.S. has devastated Iran, Trump stated, "I will not use the word 'war.' Because they say, 'If you use the word war, it may not be a good thing.' They don't like the word war because you need approval. That's why I will use the term 'military operation,' which is actually exactly that. This is called military destruction." Trump also argued that if the Democrats win the 2024 elections, Iran would currently possess nuclear weapons.
