“We will make a good deal with Iran, or there will be no deal,” Trump says
Trump’s remarks came a day after he said he hoped the war with Iran was “coming to an end.”
US President Donald Trump has said the United States will prevail in the ongoing war with Iran, stressing that Washington will achieve its objectives with or without a deal and either way, America will win.
Speaking to the media about the possibility of an agreement with Iran and the potential deployment of additional US forces to the region, Trump said: “We’ll either make a good deal with Iran, or there will be no deal.”
Trump also addressed the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, claiming that US naval vessels are transiting the strategic waterway at night because Iran is unable to effectively detect them.
According to Trump, Iranian radar systems have been destroyed. The claims have not been independently verified.
The US president also made a strong claim about Iran’s economic situation, saying inflation in the country had risen to more than 300% and describing the Iranian economy as being in extremely poor condition. These figures could not be independently verified.
Trump’s remarks came a day after he said he hoped the war with Iran was “coming to an end.”
Meanwhile, maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains significantly below normal levels, while continuing regional tensions are raising concerns over the security of a vital global energy route and potential disruptions to international energy supplies.
