US President Donald Trump believes that the US has already won in the conflict with Iran, but he would like to "present the victory more convincingly".
“We have already won, but I want a bigger victory“, he said in an interview with Newsmax. According to the American leader, the US forces “destroyed Iran's naval and air forces, its radar equipment and its leadership“.
According to Trump, the “global community“ as a whole – the US, the Middle East and Europe – cannot allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons. A military operation against Iran should have been launched long ago, the American believes leader.
Trump said he would not approve a deal with Iran that would provide the Islamic Republic with enriched uranium for energy and medical purposes.
“Maybe that wasn't a very serious offer, because I wouldn't approve it; I wouldn't give them anything“, the American leader said in a comment on a statement by his special envoy Steve Witkoff, who said that during the negotiations with Iran, the American side had offered to provide Tehran with uranium for free for medical and energy purposes.
Trump believes that fuel prices will fall sharply immediately after the end of the US-Israeli military operation against Iran.
“Gasoline and oil prices will fall rapidly after the war is over“, the American leader said, commenting on the latest rise in fuel prices in the United States in a conversation with reporters. “Gasoline prices will fall. After the war is over, they will fall like a rock“, the American president believes. According to him, the problem is largely due to the fact that oil cannot yet be unloaded from tankers in the Persian Gulf.
„And you know what? Iran will not have nuclear weapons“, the president said.
